course

The Osterbach is created by the confluence of the Hinteren Huttenbach and the Vorderen Huttenbach north of Friesenhofen (Markt Buch ). It then flows north through a narrow valley and finally flows into the Biber northeast of Silheim or west of Kleinkissendorf (both community Bibertal ). On its way north, the Osterbach is mostly straightened and can only rarely develop. It is also used for damming fish ponds.
