Source history

The brook of Wallenfels rises almost 600 m above sea level, directly on the northeast slope of the 609 m high Angelburg in the center of the Bottenhorn plateau , the focus of the Gladenbacher Bergland, only 600 m north-northeast of the Gansbach source. After a short spring run in an easterly direction, the brook flows south and clearly passes northwest of the 564 m high Würgeloh Wallenfels , municipality of Siegbach , to the east of the 590 m high Schmittgrund with the right one, which emerged on the north flank of the last mentioned mountain in just 560 m shorter source stream flow together. The longer source stream is usually marked as Siegbach on official maps , but the Hessian State Office for Nature Conservation, Environment and Geology lists the shorter source stream as the nominal one.

Lower and upper reaches

The young river flows into the natural area Zollbuche , the extreme west of which it will flow through in southerly directions. In doing so, it passes the districts of Tringenstein and Oberndorf about 1 km to the east, before finally flowing through the Siegbach municipal seat of Eisemroth and, further downstream, the district of Überthal .

After a bend in the form of a semicircle open to the south-south-west in a clockwise direction, an approximately 0.9 km long tributary branches off to the left , to which the Frommeröder Bach flows from the direction of Günterod , i.e. north to northeast, via the official left of its three source brooks 2.5 km, over the middle one, following state road 3049, is even 3.2 km long.

After its two arms converge in a southerly direction, the Siegbach finally flows into the Aar from the right in Bischoffen , only a good 600 m below the Aartalsee lake to the southeast .
