Its source lies in the middle of dense wood just under seven hundred meters east of the Berzweiler district, which is part of the Hefersweiler community .

The stream, accompanied by sparse vegetation, initially flows almost to the west between the Wingertsheck corridor on its right and the Krummstück corridor on the left, about three hundred meters through farmland in an initially quite wide valley at the foot of the Berzweiler Höhe. The Borngraben then squeezes in the corridor of the same name west-south-west through a now narrow Kerbtal, which lies between the Berzweiler Höhe and the 363.9  m high Reiterberg and is under nature protection, which is overgrown with dense wood from native tree species. The brook is accompanied by the mountain road on its left . South of the road is a protected orchard meadow .

He now reaches the village of Berzweiler. To the south of the village, many species of plants grow in a protected meadow . The brook then disappears shortly thereafter, piped underground, to then reappear on the surface after about two hundred meters west of state road 382 (valley road) . It then runs lined with bushes and trees in the Hofstatt corridor through a green zone and finally flows into the Odenbach coming from the south about a hundred meters west of the village at an altitude of 221  m from the right .
