geography

course

The Miesenbach rises a little west of the 362  m above sea level. NHN high forest hill Hebelhübel , on which (among others) the areas of the municipality of Kottweiler-Schwanden and the city of Ramstein-Miesenbach touch, in the east of Schwanden and in the northwest of the Hebenhübelerhof belonging to Ramstein-Miesenbach. From there it flows in a south-southeast direction towards the Miesenbach district and changes over to the urban area at a pond. Here he steps out of the forest into an initially narrow corridor aisle.

Where the accompanying forest ends near the Rundwieserhof, it is reinforced by a somewhat shorter left upper course with an approximately southern course that arises at the Jakobsbrunnen, passes the Hebenhübelerhof and flows through a chain of ponds. There the Miesenbach turns more and more south-westerly. The brook runs through the northern tip of the village of Miesenbach, which runs along the road to Kottweiler.
