geography

The Saarbach is fed by the Farschweiler Bach and the Lorscheider Bach , whose source brooks are the Etgesbach and the Bickenbach in the Osburger Hochwald near Beuren (Hochwald) .

From the confluence of its source rivers, the Feller Bach takes an S-shaped path towards the northwest. In doing so, it first crosses the state forest of Quint in a wide curve to the left. He takes up numerous short streams from the surrounding heights. About halfway to the Moselle it reaches Fell . In Fell, below the former Feller Maximiner Castle, the Thommerbach flows , which is known as the Spitzer Bach just before the mouth .
