course

The westward-flowing Pulsnitz between Heinersdorf (left) and Kroppen (right); in the upper half of the picture the Kieperbach joins from the left (south).

It rises between the Saxon villages Liega and Ponickau at 175  m in Hell on the eastern slope of the Galgenberg ( 214  m ). The brook then flows to the northeast and is dammed in the Alschtich near Ponickau. The Schlenkertsgraben from Lüttichau flows into the Lüttichauer Heide on the right and the Ponickau brook on the left. Then the Kieperbach flows west past Naundorf into the Krakauische Heide, where it flows around the Trebischberg ( 126  m ) and changes its direction to the northwest. In the heather, the stream is dammed in the two Kiepe ponds. Below the ponds, the brook reaches Brandenburg territory. The village of Heinersdorf extends on both sides of the Kieperbach on the lower reaches . After 10.2 km it joins the Pulsnitz below Heinersdorf an der Kroppener Mühle.

natural reserve

In order to preserve the richly structured stream valleys of the Linz Water and Kieperbach in the Saxon Loess Field, the Free State of Saxony has designated the FFH area “Linzer Wasser und Kieperbach”. The area is characterized by near-natural streams and extensive or unused ponds as well as fresh, wet and floodplain meadows, reed and reed bed complexes and alluvial forest borders. The two Kieperteiche form a natural and area monument in the Saxon state forest of Cosel.
