The Gosenbach is a 3.3 km - over the Schelderbach 4.9 km - long right tributary of the Sieg in the western district of Siegen-Wittgenstein , North Rhine-Westphalia . Its lower course is the western border to the district of Altenkirchen , Rhineland-Palatinate .

The actual main river of the Gosenbach river system is the nominal right tributary Schelderbach in terms of length and catchment area , which extends around the middle course of the Gosenbach and (upstream) the lower course of the also right tributary Schinderbach , in particular the eastern border of the gable forest up to 527  m high to the core. Siegerland forms.

The lower reaches of the Gosenbach, extended upstream by the mouth of the Schinderbach, also forms the border between North Rhine-Westphalia and Rhineland-Palatinate.

Tributaries

The right tributaries Schelderbach (2721782; 3.1 km, 4.267 km²) and Schinderbach (2721784; 3.7 km, 3.945 km²) each contribute more than a third of the Gosenbach water.

The exclusively North Rhine-Westphalian Schelderbach rises north-west of Oberschelden , flows through the place mentioned and flows into the south-west of Gosenbach .

The mainly Rhineland-Palatinate Schinderbach , on the other hand, comes directly from the south-east of the gable forest and flows first in east to south-east, then north towards the Gosenbach, in order to represent the state border between the two mentioned federal states in the course of its mouth, that of the Gosenbach up to its mouth then extended to the southeast.
