geography

course

The source of the Ziegelbach is actually between Duttenbrunn and Himmelstadt . However, this upper course is dry for most of the year. The stream bed then only carries water again in Wiesenfeld from the mouth of the Lepbach. The lower section of the valley is significantly steeper. The Ziegelbach flows into the Main below the Schönrain ruins .
