The Litzenbach rises in northern Hohen Fläming between the villages of Steinberg and Buckau in the Buckautal community . It drains north to the Strepenbach and over this to Buckau and finally to the Havel . It is the only tributary of the Strepenbach and flows to it from the left.

course

The more than six and a half kilometer long, largely natural Fläming River rises on the northern slope of the Hohe Fläming, east of the Petz Mountain. From there, the stream initially flows in a north-westerly direction through a boggy wetland. To the west of Steinberg, the Litzenbach crosses under the Bundesautobahn 2 and turns to the north or northeast. On the way, the Litzenbach takes in the water of some ditches or rivers. About a kilometer before its mouth there is a small connecting ditch directly to Buckau. To the northwest of Glienecke , the Litzenbach joins the much smaller and shorter Strepenbach about thirty meters before the Buckau.

Protected areas

In the course of the Riembach flows through a large number of protected areas. The area south of the Federal Highway 2 is for example in High Fläming Nature Park and conservation area High Fläming - Belziger Landschaftswiesen. In addition, the brook is designated in the FFH area Buckau and tributaries. To the north-west of Steinberg there is a protected part of the landscape , the Lehmkuten Bücknitz. Some areas of the stream are declared as protected biotopes .
