course

The Breitbach arises in Iphofen - Nenzenheim on the western edge of the Steigerwald in continuation of its left upper course Hirtenbach at an insignificant right tributary and initially runs to the northeast. It crosses the so-called Hellmitzheimer Bucht at the foot of the mountainous area, from which it receives some tributaries, in a wide left-hand arc , and then flows further west-south-west. After taking in its large tributaries Iff and Ickbach from the south in quick succession , it turns to the west-north-western lower reaches. It flows into the Main at Marktbreit at Mainkilometer 277 from the left, about one kilometer before the river bridge of the A 7 and the following barrage Marktbreit of the Main.
