course
The Ribbach rises about 1 kilometer southeast of the Luxembourg town of Weiswampach . After about 2 kilometers it is fed to the left by the Birkelburren stream. From about 2.4 kilometers the Ribbach flows along the Belgian-Luxembourg border, changing national territory several times. Up to its mouth, it crosses mainly in wooded terrain the areas of the communities Weiswampach and Clervaux in Luxembourg and Burg-Reuland in Belgium. It flows into the Our on Belgian territory at the border triangle of Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. The Georges Wagner Bridge is located immediately north of the estuary.
