The 8.4 km long Vers is with a catchment area of ​​over 40 km², which occupies the southwest arm of the natural area Salzbödetal , by far the most important tributary of the Salzböde in the Gladenbacher Bergland , Central Hesse .

origin of the name

The onomastic Jürgen Udolph derives the Bach name verse from the Indo-European root * pers - for "spray", "splash". The verse would therefore be “the spraying” or “the spraying”. Similar water names are u. a. to be found in northwest Germany, such as the Verse , a tributary of the Lenne in the Sauerland .

geography

course

The source of the Vers is located directly on the watershed between its mother river Salzböde and the dill tributary Aar , which occupies the natural area of Niederweidbacher Becken to the west . It is half-circled by the state road 3047 between the Dünsberg in the south and the Zollbuche in the north to the west and is located in the Lahn-Dill district , about 1.5 km southeast of Wilsbach (municipality of Bischoffen ) and about 2 km northeast of Erda (municipality of Hohenahr ).

The river soon leaves the Lahn-Dill district to the east, crosses a short, unpopulated part of the district of Gießen and reaches the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf , where its course changes towards the northeast. West of Kirchvers (municipality Lohra ) flows it the Frankenbach from the same place (municipality Biebertal , Gießen district ) from right side to, in Kirchvers finally from Dünsberg and location Krumbach coming (also Biebertal) Krumbach .

At the smoke mill the verse ends in the salt flats. From the position of the observer, the mouth is directly to the right of the mill at the transition between meadow and bushy terrain

In the following course, the verse always remains on the Lohra district and accompanies / limits the Krofdorfer Forest , which, like the Dünsberg, is part of the Krofdorf-Königsberger Forest natural area , northwest. From left her only flows from the direction Weipoltshausen of Windelsbach , the eastern south of the natural space inch beech sprung from Rodenhausen , Seelbach , Rollshausen and Altenvers coming Krebsbach to.

Immediately below Reimershausen at the Rauchmühle, the Vers finally flows from the right into the Salzböde , which immediately after the mouth leaves the Salzbödetal natural area and crosses the Krofdorfer Forest in a south-easterly direction.
