geography

course

The Gander arises at an altitude of 235 m from the confluence of Aalbaach and Briedemsbach in Aspelt .

It initially flows a good kilometer to the south-east and then marks the border between Luxembourg and France for around ten kilometers. It meanders through fields and meadows and first flows south along Altwies . Then it runs between Mondorf-les-Bains in Luxembourg and Mondorff in France and then past Emerange to the south .

It now leaves the border, passes Gandren and, coming from the north, flows into the Moselle from the left at an altitude of 147 m south of Bad Mondorf near Haute-Kontz .
