geography

course

The Meißenbach with the strongest source of the upper courses rises in the low mountain range Frankenweide around 1.5 km southeast of the Hermersbergerhof in the area of ​​the local community Wilgartswiesen . It initially flows mainly in the direction of the southwest or south-southwest; it changes its name to Horbach after 3 km at the confluence of a weaker left tributary from the Gewann Große Spachtel .

After a few kilometers, at the tributary of its longest tributary, Hirtenbach , it passes under the Landau – Rohrbach railway line and Bundesstraße 10 at Horbacherhof , and then continues its course in a westerly direction parallel to them. At the passage through the hamlet of Kaltenbach , which belongs to Hinterweidenthal , it crosses under the federal highway 427 and shortly afterwards the Wieslauterbahn , and then flows into the Lauter from the left in Hinterweidenthal . Immediately to the west of the mouth rises the glove head ( 324  m ).
