The Mohelka rises in the Jizera Mountains as Mohelnice south of the Maršovický vrch (743 m), a foothill of the Černá studnice (German: Schwarzbrunnberg ) in the municipality of Maršovice (German: Marschowitz ) at 570  m nm

Here it turns south and along the Mohelka to Žďárek the expressway R 35 / E 442 between Liberec and Turnov leads .

Other places on the river, which then runs westwards, are Hodkovice nad Mohelkou , Žďárek, Radostín, Sychrov , Třtí, Letařovice and Libíč.
