The Vierbach, which flows entirely in the Frau-Holle-Land Geo-Nature Park (Werratal.Meißner.Kaufunger Wald) rises on the eastern flank of the Hoher Meissner ( 753.6  m above sea  level ). Its source is west of Germerode , a part of the municipality of Meißner , at an altitude of about 430  m .

Initially, the Vierbach flows east to Germerode, from where it  turns south-east along state road 3243. A few kilometers after flowing through this village and a little after passing the Queckmühle , the flowing water runs through the village of Vierbach , a district of the municipality of Wehretal .
