geography
course
The Zwester Ohm rises about 360 m above sea level on the Lumda plateau ( Vorderer Vogelsberg ) in the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund near Wermertshausen and initially flows through the plateau in a north-westerly direction to the Amöneburg basin near Heskem . Here the river changes its direction and flows through the basin from now on to the southwest, where it finally leaves it at the border to the municipality of Fronhausen between Lahnbergen (in the north) and Lumda plateau (in the south), and after a few kilometers at Sichertshausen , almost exactly between Marburg and Gießen to flow into the Lahn.
