geography

The stream rises as Gräbbach on the eastern outskirts of Todenfeld in the Voreifel at an altitude of 357  m above sea level. NHN . From here it flows in predominantly northerly directions. On the southern outskirts of Rheinbach , the Stiefelsbach, which also flows in a northerly direction, flows on the left . After flowing through the eastern location of Rheinbach, the short tributary of the Eulenbach flows from the right. From here on the brook bears the name Eulenbach. Then it crosses under the federal highway 266 and the Autobahn 61. The stream Ramershoven flows further northwards . A few hundred meters from its own mouth, the Eulenbach takes on the Hochbach . The stream then flows into the southern outskirts of Morenhoven at 146  m above sea level. NHN on the left in the Swist .

In the past, the Eulenbach ran about a kilometer further west of the Swist before the mouth and only flowed shortly before the Wallbach . The original course can be traced back to the largely still existing stream bed. As part of the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive , numerous measures with the aim of a more natural design and natural development are to be taken, especially in the north of Rheinbach.

The Eulenbach has a 23.059 km² catchment area that is drained to the North Sea via Swist, Erft and Rhine . With a height difference of 211 m, the mean bed slope is 17.2 ‰.
