geography
course
The Effelder rises at an altitude of around 800 meters west of the Fellberg near Steinach in the Thuringian Slate Mountains . It then flows through the town of Mengersgereuth-Hammern , which stretches about four kilometers in the valley. Below the village, the Effelder continues in an arc in a south-westerly direction. The federal road 89 and the Eisfeld – Sonneberg railway line run in its valley . There are also the towns ofschichtshöhn and Effelder . To the south of Effelder, the Effelder flows through the town of Döhlau, before it crosses the state border to Bavaria and after about one kilometer flows into the Froschgrundsee and thus into the Itz. The area where it flows into the Froschgrundsee is part of the Itztal and Effeldertal nature reserve near Weißenbrunn vorm Wald .
