description

The Iterbach rises in the Osthertogenwald, south of Raeren in Belgium. At Grenzstein 927, near the town of Sief , he crosses the border into Germany. The Periolbach, Belvener Bach, Brandenburg receiving waters, Schniders receiving waters, Reybach and Orsbach all flow to it. It is close to nature, but polluted by the surrounding intensive agriculture and sewage from Belgium. The valley of the same name is spanned by the Itertal viaduct of the Vennbahn before Kornelimünster . The stone bridge structure (viaduct) from 1885 is a listed building . After the railway was closed, the Vennbahn cycle path now leads over it.
