course

The Ettentalbach rises at an altitude of about 360  m above sea level. NN in a forest north of the St. Ingbert district of Oberwürzbach .

It first flows about 150 m in a south-easterly direction through the forest and then changes its direction to east-south-east. About 350 m downstream, it is reinforced on its left by the Rittershofbach coming from the northeast . Shortly afterwards, the Ettentalbach feeds a small pond. The Second Ritterhofbach flows into a second pond on the left .

The Ettentalbach now continues in a south-easterly direction through a forest landscape and finally flows east of Oberwürzbach at an altitude of about 250  m above sea level. NN from the left into the Würzbach .
