course

The Biberbach rises in the Czech Republic from the wetland in the valley cut between the 701  m high Březový Kopec and the 698  m high Kozí vrch. It bears the name Kamenný potok (German: rock brook). It turns to the southwest and after 1.13 km reaches the German-Czech border.

The Biberbach flows mainly in a southerly direction for 2.46 km on the German-Czech border; on this section several unnamed streams flow to it from the left and right. The brooks on the left arise on the western slopes of the Kozí vrch and the 683  m high Skalka, the right on the slope south of the Mühlberg east of the Seugbühl.

To the east of Kleeberg and north of Kritzenthal , the border bends sharply to the southeast, while the Biberbach initially maintains its southerly direction, but then runs southwards through a long curve that extends westwards to the mouth.

Southwest of Lintlhammer , the Mühlbach, fed by short ditches, flows from the Eglseer Mühle from the left.

Four kilometers after the Biberbach has moved from the border, the Braunmühlbach flows from the right, which shortly before passed the Schladerlmühle near Treffelstein . After another three kilometers, the Biberbach crosses the village of Biberbach . From the lower end of the village it flows southeast and flows one and a half kilometers further down from the right into the Bohemian Schwarzach.
