geography

course

The Eußerbach rises as Katzenbach in the Middle Palatinate Forest at about 348  m above sea level. NHN in a valley belonging to the Roschbach Forest 1 km west-southwest of the 566  m high Pfaffenkopf and initially flows largely in a southerly direction.

Then the Katzenbach turns clearly to the south-west and unites at about 232  m altitude with the Dörenbach coming from the right from the north-west to form the Eusserbach, which in turn flows south. 2 km it is the 450 m long Schweinswoog dammed where trout breed is operated.

At the entrance to the local community of Eußerthal , the Dürrentalbach flows as the strongest inlet at about 202  m above sea level from the right , which is also called Sulzbach here on its lower course and has given its name to an Eusserthaler Weg. For the rest of its course, the Eußerbach flows south-east. Within the municipality, the Mühlbach branches off to the right and is re-introduced after 1 km; it once served as a canal to supply a mill , which was named Klostermühle after the Cistercian Abbey of Eusserthal and is now called the Alte Mühle . Below Eußerthal, the Eußerbach experiences a second, also temporary branch to the right, which is about 800 m long, and receives the Eischbach from the left .

In the district town Annweiler am Trifels the Eußerbach combined at about 174  m height with the coming of the left Northeast, nearly 7.5 km long Dernbach to Eisbach , which already is 1.5 km away from the left in the Rhine tributary Queich opens .
