The Matzoff is a 7 km long, northeast and left tributary of the Ems . It runs in the urban area of Niedenstein in the Habichtswald Nature Park , Schwalm-Eder-Kreis , North Hesse ( Germany ).

course

The Matzoff rises on the western flank of the Langenberge . Its source is in the district of Ermetheis , an eastern Niedenstein district, between the Laufskopf ( 534.8  m above sea  level ) in the northeast and the Niedensteiner Kopf ( 475  m ) in the west-northwest at an altitude of around 362  m .

After leaving Ermetheis, the Matzoff flows south through a valley partly lined with forest, into which the Elsterbach , flowing from the northeast, first joins; the latter comes from the eastern edge of Ermetheis and is fed by the sand source and a stream from the Elsterloch . Shortly afterwards, a stream coming from Niedenstein joins from the northwest. Then the Matzoff runs through the Metze district of Niedenstein , where two more streams flow into it. The second is the Landgrafenborn which flows from the Landgrafenborn located on the Kammerberg ( 360.8  m ) .

Then the Matzoff runs directly outside the Habichtswald Nature Park - leaving the Langenberge - west-southwest to and through the Kirchberg district of Niedenstein on the Wartberg . Even in this village , it flows into the Eder tributary Ems , which flows from the north-west, at around 188  m above sea level, running again in the nature park for the last few meters .

Natural allocation

The Matzoff arises in the sub-unit Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen (342.2) belonging to the natural spatial main unit group West Hessian mountain and sink country (No. 34) and the main unit Habichtswälder Bergland (342 ). It then flows through the natural area Fritzlarer Börde (343.23), which in the main unit West Hessian Basin (343) belongs to the subunit Hessengau (343.2), up to its mouth .
