course

The Nickelsgraben rises in the southwestern Maindreieck on the Marktheidenfelder Platte in the natural area 132.01 Eisinger Höhe from an intermittent spring at an altitude of about 254  m above sea level. NN . Its headwaters are located on the Schmaletplatte in the 15.2 hectare Bärnthal-Hüttenthal nature reserve in a small coniferous forest west of Margetshöchheim .

The Nickelsgraben initially flows a good five hundred meters in a north-easterly direction through the wooded Bärentalsgraben ( Berthalsgraben ), then crosses under the high-speed route Hanover – Würzburg and is then strengthened on its left by a source branch coming from the Hüttental from the northwest.

The Nickelsgraben now runs along the boundary between Erlabrunn and Margetshöchheim, accompanied by a strong tree gallery, through the open corridor, then passes a homestead at Hummelbrunn , then crosses under the St 2300 state road , crosses a small ditch accompanying the Main and finally flows into the 133.02 Main Valley natural area Veitshöchheim at an altitude of 161.6  m above sea level. NN a good seven hundred meters above the Erlabrunn barrage from the left into the Main flowing in from the southeast.
