It is reinforced by Rotklingenbrunnen and Streitbrunnen and reaches the village of the same name Breitenbach . There the Dörnbach flows to him. At about 7.1 km, the Breitenbach is the longer source stream.

The approximately 5.9 km long Teufelsbach rises in Baden-Württemberg south of Schloßau . It runs north through the Devil's Blade . North of Ernsttal it joins the Breitenbach to the Gabelbach.
