The Veischede (also called Veischedebach ) is a 16.6 km long, left or southwestern tributary of the Lenne in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Olpe ( Germany ). It flows entirely in the area of the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature park .
Course and catchment area
The Veischede rises between the mountains Feldberg ( 556.2 m above sea level ) in the north-west, Homert ( 536.7 m ) in the south-west and Twilkenberg ( 531.2 m ) in the north-east. Its source ( 510 m ) is on the site of a garbage dump between the northeastern Olper districts of Oberneger and Oberveischede . The flowing water is cleaned by a sewage treatment plant 400 m below its origin at the landfill exit . A few hundred meters southwest of it there is a composting plant directly adjacent to the landfill with the nearby Neger spring .
In the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge nature park, the Veischede flows initially in a north-easterly direction and later in a northerly direction along federal highway 55 . First, it gradually runs through Oberveischede. Below it, it flows through the Lennestadt districts of Bruchhausen , Kirchveischede , Bilstein and Bonzel to Grevenbrück .
After flowing from Grevenbrück opens the Veischede about 250 m NNE the ruins Peper Burg to 245 m height in the zoom there from southeast flowing Ruhr influx Lenne .
The catchment area of the Veischede covers 42.829 km².
