The Lambsbach is an orographically left tributary of the Blies in southwestern Rhineland-Palatinate and in eastern Saarland . The Lambsbach drains the Sickinger Höhe , thus the northernmost part of the Westrich plateau .

geography

The Lambsbach rises in the small town of Lambsborn , the place name indicates this fact: Born means source here . The stream flows through the Lambsbachtal, a narrow, largely natural meadow valley that is framed on both sides by wooded hills. A small part of the valley is designated as a nature reserve Lambsbachtal .

The purpose of protection is mentioned

"... the preservation of the valley floodplain with its meandering water, the tall herbaceous meadows, reed areas, Großseggenriedern as well as swamp areas as habitats and partial habitats of rare animal species as well as locations of rare plant species and plant communities."

- District government Rheinhessen-Pfalz

In its further course the Lambsbach flows through Bechhofen and west past the Käshofen situated higher up . The Lambsbach crosses the state border on the L 462 state road and continues through Kirrberg in Saarland , past the Emilienruhe, Ebersberg and Audenkellerhof and finally as the local border between Schwarzenbach and Schwarzenacker .

The brook flows into the Blies between Schwarzenbach, Schwarzenacker and Wörschweiler only a few meters from the Erbach mouth in the Mastau .
