Starting from its source, the Zopsenbach flows south. In the upper reaches there are wide meadows on the banks, with the Sajatmähder on the left and the Katinmähder on the right. On the other hand, there are forest areas in the middle reaches, but they do not reach the stream. When entering the Virgental, the Zopsenbach flows past the scattered settlement Frösach ( Bichl fraction ) on the right and then swings to the southwest, where it then again flows through mainly agricultural grassland.
