The Oster is an almost 31 km long, north-eastern and left-hand tributary of the Blies in the Palatinate Bergland in the north-eastern part of the Saarland .

course

The Oster rises in the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park , a little west-northwest of Oberkirchen . It flows from the Osterquelle , which lies southeast of the Füsselberg and northwest of the Mittelberg, the northern foothills of the Weiselberg .

Initially, the Oster, which is accompanied by the Ostertalbahn to Fürth , runs eastwards to Oberkirchen and then flows through this place, where it is crossed by the Oberkirchen viaduct , to the south. From then on, the stream continues in this direction to Hoof and then along the B 420 via Marth and Niederkirchen to Werschweiler , where it leaves the Saar-Hunsrück Nature Park . Then it flows over Dörrenbach and Fürth to Hangard .

Finally, the Oster, which is now flowing westwards on its last kilometers of stream, flows into the Blies , which comes from the north , after a difference in altitude of 210 m in Wiebelskirchen .

history

After it was straightened over long stretches in the 1930s, 1960s and 1970s, the Oster has been renatured in sections since 1990. From 1934, the Ostertalbahn, named after him, was built along the stream .
