geography

course

The Leukbach rises in Eft , district Eft-Hellendorf, municipality of Perl in Saarland and flows through the municipalities of Mettlach , Kollesleuken (Freudenburg), Trassem and flows into the Saar in Saarburg ( Rhineland-Palatinate ).

The Leukbach was diverted near Saarburg in the 12th century and has since plunged over an 18 m high waterfall . This makes it practically inaccessible to fish and other aquatic fauna from the Saar.
