course

The Faulgraben arises on the Franconian Plate just under a kilometer east of Lohr am Main - Pflochsbach from two source streams. The longer and southern source branch rises at a height of about 291  m above sea level. NN in the Hässli forest in the deciduous forest. The brook first flows a good two hundred meters north and then joins the second spring branch, which rises 10 meters below.

The combined stream now runs in a westerly direction through a narrow, wooded valley. Before it reaches the outskirts of Pflochsbach, the stream disappears underground for about three hundred meters and only reappears south of the St Jakobuskirche , which was built in 1664 , after it has crossed Pflochsbacher Strasse . Alongside St.-Jakobus-Straße , it still runs a good hundred and thirty meters through the village and finally flows out about a hundred meters west of the outskirts of Pflochsbach at an altitude of about 147.3  m above sea level. NN at the Jakobuswiesen from the left into the Main coming from the north .
