geography

course

The Frenke rises on the Bilsteinberg in the municipality of Langenbruck and flows quickly to the pass road of the Upper Hauenstein , which was already used by the Romans . Then it flows along the pass road through the medieval town of Waldenburg , where the terminus of the Waldenburgerbahn is located.

It then flows through the villages of Oberdorf , Niederdorf and Hölstein and Bubendorf , where the Hintere Frenke joins from the left. After continuing to the north, it finally flows into the Ergolz in Liestal .
