The Wulfbach sources are north of Mühlheim an der Donau in a small side valley. The Wulfbach rises in two larger karst springs. One of them is the exit of the Wulfbachquellhöhle, an active water cave. A source slightly below it has a large bed. The spring water from there is dammed up in a small pool. The sources' fill fluctuates between 10 and 200 l / s. Its catchment area extends over an area of 24 km² to Kolbingen in the north. Both streams only unite in the old town of Mühlheim.
course

The two brooks that sprang from the springs flow parallel to the south towards the old town. Today you operate the upper and middle mill, as well as a sawmill. In earlier times, the Wulfbach also fed the Untere Mühle. These three and another mill directly on the Danube gave the town of Mühlheim, which at that time was only in the area of today's hamlet, its name. The spring water of the Wulfbach was used to supply drinking water to the old town until 1938. As typhoid diseases became more common, the Wulbach spring was abandoned as drinking water.

The Wulfbach then turns north on the L443 and runs through a Danube arm in an arch along the Danube Cycle Path. It crosses the route of the Tuttlingen – Inzigkofen railway line and flows into the Danube.

The Wulfbach or Wulf is only 2.5 km long, but once powered four mills in Mühlheim's old town (hence the name Mühlheim).

Biotope and habitat for a large number of animals. The beaver in particular has been involved in the landscaping. A really very impressive nature, which can be observed here.
