geography
course
The Boxbach rises on the western border between Breidenbach and Bad Laasphe and not far from the eastern seam of the Breidenbacher Grund , as the north-west of the Gladenbacher Bergland that drains to Perf is called, to the Rothaargebirge , immediately west-south-west of the 561.6 m high Hommerichskopf es.
The stream flows in a north-easterly direction and touches Wiesenbach to the south-east, before finally turning east and flowing into the Perf from the left immediately above the Perf reservoir and north of the core town of Breidenbach.
Tributaries
The most important tributary of the Boxbach is the Gladenbach (2581482), which flows in from the right less than 100 m above its mouth , which previously flowed in parallel to the south-east and touched the district of Kleingladenbach to the south-south-east. With a length of 5.1 km this is only slightly shorter, its catchment area occupies 5.434 km² (Boxbach above: 7.79 km²) about 40% of the Boxbach system.
