geography
Spring streams
The brook arises less than a kilometer east of Leutenbach- Oberehrenbach from the confluence of the right Herrgottsgraben and left Haidgraben.
God's moat
The right Herrgottsgraben rises at 483 m above sea level. NN at an incipient narrow forest valley basin southwest and at the foot of the Waldgewanns Breitenlohe of the village Haidhof , which is about one kilometer northeast of the uppermost spring on a saddle between the Haidhofer Schlossberg (569 m) in the north and the Leitsberg (570 m) in the south. The creek flows in rapidly lowering one valley to the southwest, takes on the lower slopes Waldrand an influx of left of the Klinger or Steinweg fountain on, immediately followed by yet another small blades influx from the East already in the open hallway. At 760 m, it is the somewhat longer source stream.
Haidgraben
The source of the approximately 660 m long left Haidgraben is located northeast of Rangen in a northwest running forest blade near the cross at Steigenkopf of the district road FO 14. East of Oberehrenbach it joins the Herrgottsgraben to Ehrenbach.
course
After its formation, the Ehrenbach first runs westwards to and through Oberehrenbach, then changes its direction of flow in a right curve to the north and crosses the villages of Mittelehrenbach, Dietzhof and Leutenbach. Between Mittelehrenbach and Dietzhof, the valley wall is missing on the left. In Leutenbach it flows into the Moritzbach from the right from a valley below Ortspitz, which is fed by several karst springs and sediments of tufa . From here the Ehrenbach separates the small Ehrenbürg mountain on the left, a witness mountain, from the rest of Franconian Switzerland in the east, from the slope of which the Eschenbach reaches it from the direction of the Katzenstein. In slight left-hand bend also reaches into the wide Wiesent Valley and he crosses then Kirchehrenbach , after which it flows from the left and south in the flat flood plain in the Wiesent-Mühlbach, a left arm of the Wiesent , just after seeing the railway Ebermannstadt-Forchheim has passed under .
