NHN in a meadow in the territory of the municipality Rockhausen belonging municipality souls at the southwest foot of the municipality Berg ( 436.1 m ) and just over a kilometers northeast of the municipality Otterbach Otter Mountain belong to local community Niederkirchen . Its source is in the Seelinger Tal corridor, right on the border between the Donnersbergkreis and the Kaiserslautern district.
After a few meters, the stream crosses the district boundary and then, accompanied by strong vegetation, some of which consists of orchards, flows a good 700 meters southwards through a strip of grassland at the eastern foot of the Ölsberg ( 409.5 m ). To the east of its course is a biotope with poor meadows and small trees. It is then fed by the small horn trench on its left side . The Elsbach then runs south-west through the grassland Flur Elsbacher Wiesen, lined with very dense wood .
To the southeast of the Niederkirchen weekend house settlement, the stream turns south and runs along the eastern edge of the village at a distance of about sixty meters.
