course
It rises at a height of 784 meters near the crossroads . It flows first in a south-westerly and later in a southerly direction, where after about three kilometers it feeds the almost one-kilometer-long Erletor dam . The first place is two kilometers south of Hirschbach in the Alder Valley. This is where Landesstraße 3247 and the disused Friedbergbahn meet the valley, which they will follow from now on. Other places are Erlau and St. Kilian , where the Breitenbach, together with the Vesser that has just flowed into it, flows into the Alder from the left. All villages along the Alder are politically part of the town of Schleusingen . On its last two kilometers, the alder flows through the western part of Schleusingen, where it finally flows into the Nahe from the right below the Bertholdsburg .
