It flows in a southerly direction, divides the villages of Kirchbracht and Mauswinkel and takes in the tributary of the same name at Fischborn , which carries about the same amount of water.

Drinking water sources
In the catchment area of the Riedbach there are several sources of drinking water that feed into the drinking water supply of Frankfurt am Main . They are located in an area of 19.5 hectares . The spring catchments were built in 1874. They were grown on the basalt rock at a depth of several meters. The spring water is discharged through a cast iron pressure pipe and directed to the collecting tank on the Aspenhainer Kopf near Neu-Wirtheim . There the Vogelsberg drinking water is combined with the water from the Spessart springs.
The drinking water sources are located in the "Vogelsberg extraction area" (the average discharge in brackets ):
- Aderweiher (5.5 l / s)
- Old lake (27.0 l / s)
- Wehmersborn (9.9 l / s)
- Upper & lower floodplain (28.0 l / s)
- Adlerborn (25.6 l / s)
- Lohfinksquelle (6.0 l / s)
