The Bockbach is not quite 3.5 km forest creek in the northern Palatinate Forest , near the hamlet of Kleehof the municipality Ramsen in Donnersbergkreis ( Rhineland-Palatinate ) from the southeast coming from the right upper Eisbach tapers.

course

The Bockbach rises about 3.8 km south-south-west of the center of Ramsen in the eastern stump forest , roughly between the Hohe Bühl forest in the south-west and Sandhübel in the north-east, at about 305  m above sea level. NHN on the eastern slope of the 379  m high Lerchenkopf . The stream runs its first 400 m northeast until it has taken in two other source streams, each not much shorter at the confluence, and then turns on a north course. In the middle course it feeds three ponds one after the other over a distance of about 500 m. Soon after the last one, a creek about half a kilometer in length runs from the right at a little over 245  m . There the Bockbach bends to the northwest and maintains this direction on its last kilometer to the mouth. Shortly before this, a bridge of the Eistalbahn spans its valley, then it flows into the upper Eisbach about a quarter of a kilometer south of the Kleehof not far from the Bockswiese at about 226  m above sea level .

The Bockbach flows within the municipality of Ramsen and right up to the end in the forest. It is the first tributary of this size class that the Eisbach experiences. A forest path runs through most of the Bockbach valley, mainly on the lower left slope, sometimes on both sides; There are no public roads.
