The Losnitz flows for almost a kilometer past Losau to the southwest and finally crosses under the B 303, which runs along the foot of the mountain .

In the so-called Losaugraben , which gradually deepens , it divides the following Seibelsdorf into a small part to the left of the run and a much larger part on the right slope, then it passes Waldbuch , which is a little further away on the right slope and finally the even more distant village of Wurbach at the foot of the mountain forest right, from where the Wurbacher Graben runs.

Then the stream begins to turn slowly to the west, passes the village of Großvichtach , which is again on the right, and reaches the edge of the settlement of Unterrodach .

The watershed in the northeast in the Zeyerner Wald runs against the Zeyern , which flows in roughly the same direction further up to the Rodach , the southeast against the Untere Steinach , which drains over the Schorgast to the White Main ; before their next source stream, the Rugendorfer Kaulbach , the area rises only a little. On the southwest border of the catchment area, that of the Leßbach rests for a short time , then that of the Fischbach for a longer time , both of which are downstream tributaries of the receiving Rodach.

Almost a third of the catchment area is forested, namely the mountainous north-eastern part to the right of the main water axis from the turn of the brook to the north-west, where at 678 m above sea level. NN high wheel tip is also the highest point in it. The open field, especially to the left of this axis, is rich in field hedges.
