geography

source

The source of the white, the white source , is located within North Rhine-Westphalia about 220 m northwest of the border with Hesse . It is located in the Rothaargebirge 1.6 km south of Wilgersdorf , 1.3 km east of the Kalteiche ( 579.3  m ) and almost 600 m north of its eastern neighboring elevation Hirschstein ( 562.9  m ) at about 493  m above sea level. NHN .

It is not enclosed, but emerges from a rock crevice; the spring water runs down stepped rocks to the valley.

course

The white runs in a predominantly north-westerly direction. After only about 20 m of flow, it is fed by a trickle that rises about 400 m (as the crow flies) west-southwest of the Weißquelle on the L 904 at an altitude of 521  m . The river flows through Wilgersdorf, where it absorbs the water of the Goldschmiedsborn , which comes out of the source of the same name on the slope of the Kalteiche , which is taken by the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV). After passing under the railway line Dill Railway , the White takes the right side its largest tributary, the Bichelbach on. Then it passes the Anzhäuser Mühle with the local industrial area Anzhäuser Mühle and shortly afterwards reaches Anzhausen . At the end of the village, the Wabach flows in on the left, which is fed by the Bösselbach about 100 m above its mouth. After passing the Klabach-Mühlengraben industrial estate and passing Flammersbach to the south , where the Weiß picks up the stream of the same name, it passes Niederdielfen and picks up the Dielfe on the left. A little further, it flows through the Weißtal industrial park . Then the white reaches the city of Siegen . There it flows through the Kaan-Marienborn district , in which it takes in the Breitenbach, and the Hain district , where it is bridged several times between Siegberg and Lindenberg .
