The mistletoe has two source streams that unite on the southern outskirts of Hummeltal -Bärnreuth. It flows into the Red Main in Bayreuth . In the city of Bayreuth, mistletoe had two artificial side channels. In the Geigenreuth district, a mill canal branched off to the Rückleinsmühle to the right of the stream and reached it again shortly before the Thurnau railway bridge . At the Hetzennest , to the left, was the branch to the Mühlgraben (also called Rießenbach ), which the street Am Mühlgraben reminds of. Shortly before the inflow of the Sendelbach, it came back to the main course.

In the Bayreuth urban area, the Mistelbach, which had been forced into a concrete channel for a long time, was renatured . The corresponding construction work began in 1987, initially the section between the confluence with the Red Main and Carl-Burger-Strasse was dismantled at a cost of 400,000 DM . The completion from there to the Y-house was completed in November 1994, it cost 450,000 DM. Base ramps were built for flood protection , which also serve the fish as a climbing aid.
