The Furtbach rises from the upper Katzensee ( 439 m above sea level ) in the municipality of Regensdorf . It flows initially in a northwesterly direction through the Ried Steinwiis , but then bends to the north and takes the alder Hölzl Ibach on. It briefly flows through a field and is lined with wood. In the middle of the field he is overturned for around 260 meters and directed west. At Hof Wigarten it comes to the surface again and now flows mainly to the northwest again. After a short walk through fields, it reaches residential areas and separates the hamlet of Watt from the Sand district . There is another short section through fields before returning to the built-up area and separating Regensdorf from its hamlet Adlikon . It reaches a renatured section of the stream between fields with loose woody vegetation. A short time later happened the Furtenbach the ARA Regensdorf and opposes the southwest.
Shortly after seeing the municipal boundary to book transgresses, he takes from left to out of the polder herkommenden Chilenwisenkanal and flows through the bottom outlet of the flood retention basin Wüeri .

The Furtbach is now straightened and passes the Buchs ARA . Shortly after this, it briefly forms the municipal boundary between Buchs and Dänikon , before it crosses over entirely to Däniker soil at the confluence of the Bännengraben . Another renatured section follows, bounded by fields on the left and by Golfpark Otelfingen on the right bank. After the confluence of the Wasenbüelbach , since the renaturation it has only formed the municipal boundary between Otelfingen and Dänikon for short sections , mostly it flows on Otelfingen soil. Here it takes the Harberenbach from the right and at the end of the golf park the Otelfinger Dorfbach flowing from Otelfingen . Shortly after its confluence, the Furtbach is straightened again.
