The source pond of the Niers is at the Zourshof in Kuckum. Due to the lignite opencast mining, the natural Niers springs have dried up and the source pond is supplied with swamp water from the opencast mine. In addition, some smaller streams contribute to the Niersquelle.

After 113.1 km from here, the Niers flows into the Meuse.
