geography

course

The Treisbornbach rises at an altitude of about 452  m above sea level. NHN in a mixed forest about 300 m northwest of the Königsteiner Nordzipfels and a few meters north of the B 8 , which is also called Limburger Straße here . Its source lies between the Romberg in the southwest and the Speckkopf in the northeast.

It initially flows, accompanied by the main road, east-south-east through a wooded valley. At the Untere Speckwiese corridor , the stream splits into two arms, which shortly afterwards cross the Tillmannsweg coming from the Reichenbachtal , and reunite only a little further down the stream in the Haderheck corridor . A little to the southwest of it was once a quarry with green slate cliffs . Work on expanding the “Limburger Chaussee” began in the 1770s and ended around 1820. The stone walls that were built there rise steeply up to 12 m in height. Not far away in the west is the Romberg Way of the Cross , built after the Second World War .

The stream now runs south-east between the one- and two-family houses on the road in Hadereck and the Königstein cemetery on the other side of the B 8 , then gently changes to the east and temporarily disappears underground. He then runs strongly straightened and partly underground verdolt southbound between the road in Fasanengarten the west and the Altkönigstraße in the East, still crosses the Limburger Straße and then flows directly west of this road by a monument protected area around Altkönigstraße with his magnificent villas.

A little south of the corner of Limburger Strasse and Le-Cannet-Rocheville-Strasse , it finally joins the Reichenbach, which is approaching from the north-northeast, at around 367  m from the right .
