The western Gleierbach , which flows into the Lenne at Gleierbrück, flows in a north-south direction through the mountains and divides it into a lower western and higher eastern part. The eastern Gleierbach runs slightly to the east of the mountain landscape and approaches the Lenne near Gleidorf .
