Logebach
The 8.4 km long Logebach is the left source brook of the Pleisbach . It is sometimes seen as the upper reaches of the Pleisbach . The Logebach rises north of the Asberg at around 330  m above sea level and in the urban area of Bad Honnef . It is crossed by two nationally important traffic structures: the 173 m long Logebach valley bridge on the high-speed railway line Cologne – Rhine / Main and the 160 m long Logebach valley bridge on federal motorway 3 . The brook forms the former border between the parishes and later communities or today's districts of Honnef and Aegidienberg ; in the Middle Ages he was called Honnefer Pleisbach . Its current name was only introduced after the Second World War and refers to its earlier function as Grenzbach.
Quirrenbach
The 7.5 km long Quirrenbach is the right source brook. It rises to the east of the Aegidienberg district of Wülscheid at an altitude of around 260  m .
