About 200 m south of the village, it turns to the southeast, runs along the Görgeshausen mill and returns to the Rhein-Lahn district, where it initially flows through the center of the Hambach community . Flowing further to the south-east, the Hambach then reaches the community of Aull , where it first flows around the Alte Burg , before flowing into the Lahn after the center of Aull a little later .
