The Himbachel in the Odenwald is the first right tributary of the Mümling in the Odenwaldkreis in Hesse after the union of its source streams. The Himbachel is mainly known as the namesake of the Himbächel Viaduct , which spans the entrance to the Himbachel Valley at a great height. The border between Oberzent - Hetzbach in the south and Erbach - Ebersberg in the north runs close to the middle and lower reaches of the Himbachel ; the valley meadows on the left side of the stream belong here entirely, those on the right mainly belong to the Hetzbach district.
