course

The Gaibach rises as a Kohlschlaggraben in the sandstone Spessart in the natural area 141.3 Southeastern Sandsteinspessart at the eastern foot of the Turmsteinhöhe ( 453  m above sea level ) in the area of ​​the municipality of Rothenfels just under two kilometers southwest of Neustadt am Main at an altitude of about 417  m ü. NHN in the forest floor rudder stock wood .

The stream initially flows a good 100 m south-southeast through the forest, then crosses a forest path. About 230 m downstream, near the Marterwiese corridor, on its left-hand side, it is fed by a small forest brook emerging from the Marterwiesen fountain. The Kohlschlaggraben is also called Marterwiesgraben here . It now runs through a narrow valley in the Burgerwald , then crosses a cattle drive west of the Mittelrain and then meanders eastwards through the forest. The brook approaches the boundary of Neustadt am Main and now flows as Gaibach at a distance of 20–80 m east-south-east along the border on the southern slope of the Gaiberg ( 315  m above sea level ) along through a valley which has now narrowed even further. Here it is also referred to by some as a ditch .

The Gaibach now passes a small waterworks, crosses under the state road St 2315 leading from Rothenfels to Neustadt and finally flows into the Lower Main Valley in the natural area 141.03 Lohr-Rothenfelser Main Valley at an altitude of 142  m above sea level.
