The Great Loessnitz is 17.8 kilometers, the second longest tributary of the Flöha .
It rises at Großwaltersdorf about 540 meters above sea level and then runs in a west-northwest direction. Below from Eppendorf to the mouth, the watercourse has carved out a valley cut about 100 meters into the terrain. Between Lößnitztal and the former Metzdorf stop of the narrow-gauge railway Hetzdorf – Eppendorf – Großwaltersdorf, the course meanders in a relatively wide and visibly wet floodplain. The adjoining piece up to the mouth, however, has a significantly steeper gradient if the floodplain is only narrow.
The Kleine Lößnitz, which rises to the southwest of Görbersdorf at 465 meters above sea level, empties from the right about 400 meters above the influence of the Flöha .
