geography

course

The pool rises in the Eppertshausen district west of the village on the edge of the Neuwiese von Messel nature reserve .

After a few hundred meters, it crosses the border to Rödermark in the Offenbach district and there passes under the federal highways 486 and 45 . To the north of Eppertshausen, the pool reaches the Darmstadt-Dieburg district again and runs eastward mainly in the forest. To the north of Hergershausen , part of the Gersprenz flowing further south is fed to it. If the Gersprenz is in high water, part of it can be fed into the pool via this junction.

Then the pool continues through Babenhausen . North of Harreshausen it flows into the Gersprenz .

The Gersprenzgebiet water association based in Erbach is now responsible for maintaining the pool.
