course

The Netphe initially flows in a predominantly north-westerly direction - to the west parallel to the Eder - through the wooded Rothaargebirge and passes the Krämers Wiese quarry shortly after the source . From there it flows on, a small curve to the north past the 629.2  m high Breiten Berg and after dining from the Sohlbacher Weiher and several smaller ponds reaches the village of Sohlbach. There it gradually bends to the southwest and, below Sohlbach, takes up the Alte Netphe on the right-hand side, which rises on the southwest slope of the Giller mountain , on which the Gillerturm observation tower stands, and in its course feeds the Afholderbacher Weiher .

The Netphe then runs along the federal road 62 via Afholderbach , where it receives the Afferbach on the left and another small tributary on the right, Eschenbach , where it receives the Eschenbach and another small tributary on the left to Netphen , where it takes the Leimbach and the Mühlenbach, its longest The inflow that runs down from the slope of the 526-meter-high mountain Köpfchen .
