After flowing under the state road 1443, the Bachquellengraben reaches Hörstein. It is completely piped within the village. After it comes back into daylight, it flows into flatter land, where it slows down sharply and even seeps away on some days in summer. In the vicinity of the Alzenau Süd industrial area , it flows into the Forchbach in a reed landscape .
