geography
course
The Chimlibach rises convoluted at 475 m above sea level. M. as a village stream in the Tonwisen corridor a little east of the Volketswil settlement area and only a little south of the source of the Chriesbach . After a short walk to the northwest, it reaches Volketswil and now follows the Zentralstrasse underground until shortly after the confluence with the Poststrasse . The stream now turns to the southwest and for the first time flows openly for around 10 meters. After crossing under Sigristengasse there is another short, open section where a flood relief channel branches off, which feeds the ponds in Griespark .
This is followed by longer open sections through the southern part of Volketswil, before another relief canal branches off at Kirchweg , which flows into the Guntenbach at Zimikon . It flows past the Neuwies cemetery and a little later reaches the Griespark . He now passes the two ponds and is overtaken again from the sports facility. It runs above Zimikon and reappears in the Tannboden district near Hegnau . Settlements and a larger allotment garden follow on the left , while agriculture and sometimes industry can be found on the right bank. After a short run, the stream turns south and forms the municipal boundary between Volketswil and Schwerzenbach.
Only shortly afterwards does it penetrate completely into built-up areas, in which it mostly flows openly. It now runs to the southeast, before making a larger curve to the southwest around the Schwerzenbacher Quartier Gferch . After the confluence of the most important tributary, the Guntenbach , and crossing under the railroad tracks, it passes over completely to Schwerzenbacher municipality area. It is now bordered on the right by fields that are completely enclosed by the settlement area, and from the left takes on the Zimikerriedgraben , which rises from the golf course. In doing so, he passes the Oberholz cemetery on the left bank , where he makes a small curve to the south, before flowing shortly to the northwest. It now flows through another strip of settlement on Dorfstrasse before turning to the southwest after the Schlösseri tennis facility . Shortly afterwards the Chimlibach flows out at 425 m above sea level. M. across from Fällanden in the upper reaches of the Glatt.
