The Finkelsbach is a left tributary of the Inde in the urban area of Eschweiler in the Aachen urban region in North Rhine-Westphalia .

course

The Finkelsbach rises within the former Belgian Camp Astrid in the Propsteier forest . From there it flows through parts of the intensively used agricultural areas southwest of Röhe . Water from small springs, mostly located in the fields, is fed into the Finkelsbach in this area.

In the further course the Finkelsbach flows past the northern foot of the Ellerberg and meets again near the mouth of a northern branch of the Propsteier forest along the Inde. This area is popularly called Hötter Bösch , in High German Hütter Wald, because of the former copper mill that was driven there by the Finkelsbach. The street name Röher Hütte and the already mentioned popular name of the wooded area still remind of this mill .

In earlier times there were botanically interesting marsh meadows here .

The last part of the Finkelsbach is largely underground. The Finkelsbach flows into the area of ​​the so-called Lazy Herring and the valley railway line (the name comes from the former floodplains of the Inde), between Eschweiler-Aue and Röhe in the Inde.
