It initially flows about 850 meters in an easterly direction through fields and meadows below the Gumpener Kreuz . Arrived at the southern edge of the village of Gumpen, the stream turns north and flows parallel to the B 38 (in the town of Kriemhildstraße ), cuts the Lindenfelser Weg on the western edge of Groß-Gumpen and flows into the Mergbach just above the first farmsteads of Ober-Klein-Gumpen .
