The Tiefenbach is a right tributary of the Wisper .
course
The Tiefenbach begins its way as a border stream between the district of Weisel and the Kreuzwald in the east, an exclave of the district of Dörscheid . It flows in a north-south direction through a deeply wooded Taunus valley , in which Sauerthal is the only village. In this valley, slate mining was carried out in several pits , the pit water of which was drained over the Tiefenbach, for example from the Kreuzberg-Wilhelmsberg pit . Above the forest, the valley is flanked by Weisel to the west and Ransel to the east . The Tiefenbach flows into the Wisper about four kilometers from the Rhine on the outskirts of Lorch .
Castles
At the course of the brook there are several castles, including the Waldeck castle ruins and the Sauerburg , which served to secure the border between the Rheingau and the Electoral Palatinate that has been running here since the Middle Ages .
