course

The Selchower Flutgraben begins south of the southern runway of Berlin Brandenburg Airport and initially runs around 660 m in a south-easterly direction before flowing into a nameless lake. From there it runs about 1110 m further in a south-easterly direction. The Rotberger flood ditch flows there from the southwest . The Selchower Flutgraben crosses under the federal motorway 113 , leads south past Waltersdorf through the northern part of the Wüstemarker Forest and flows through the Flutgrabenaue Waltersdorf nature reserve for a distance of around three kilometers towards the Eichberg settlement, part of Schulzendorf's municipality . In front of the residential development, the Flutgraben branches off to the southeast and runs around 1350 m along the development in the direction of the Volkspark. South of the Saarland square flow from northeastern drift ditch and a few meters later from the west of the same trench to. In the following course the Selchower Flutgraben flows for a few hundred meters in a south-southeast direction and crosses under the Berlin-Görlitz railway line in Zeuthen . A few meters further to the east, the Plumpengraben drains into the Selchower Flutgraben, which from then on runs southwards along an allotment garden, crosses under Goethestrasse and finally flows into the Zeuthener See lake in an easterly direction at Siegertplatz .
