geography

course

The Birkenbach rises in the southern Hesselbacher Waldland at an altitude of about 295  m above sea level. NN just under one kilometer north-northeast of the district of Untertheres, which belongs to the municipality of Theres, in the forest area of Stockach .

It initially flows for almost a kilometer in a south-southeast direction through the deciduous forest of the Wolfsholz tub on the right and Stockach on the left bank. Then he changes in the Hachenlohe corridor to an almost southerly direction. For the next four hundred meters it stretches along the border of the forest, which continues on the west side, to the fields that are now opposite. Then he leaves the forest completely behind and walks a good six hundred meters through the Oberer Birkenbach field .

It now crosses under the B 26 , comes to the surface again on the other side, offset about a hundred meters to the west, then crosses the tracks of the Bamberg-Rottendorf railway line and finally joins the St 2426, which branches off from the main road, about two hundred meters below the Main Bridge , at about Mainkilometer 349 and in the Flur Unterem Birkenbach between Obertheres and Untertheres at an altitude of 216  m above sea level.
