Here the Elz forms from several rivulets.

very idyllic spot: many rivulets and gullies on the very wet, varied mountain slope with large, bright stands of marsh marigolds and numerous boulders; the many slope rivulets here at an altitude of 1050 m were taken in 1964 as the source of the Elz. The Elz initially flows strongly down the valley to the north, then makes a sharp curve to the southwest at Oberprechtal, flows on through Elzach and Waldkirch (behind it another curve now to the northwest) and Emmendingen, to join the Alte Dreisam rivers at Riegel (where the rivers meet). , Dreisam canal, Glotter and watering canal to form the Leopold canal, which flows dead straight on to the north-west until it flows into the Rhine near Rheinhausen. The Alte Elz branches off from the Leopold Canal again at Riegel and also flows into the Rhine (long stretches in idyllic meanders - such as in the Elzwiesen), but further north or downstream at Wittenweier. The "water journey" finally goes via the Rhine to the North Sea. The journey or course of the Danube is completely different, which begins just under 2 km south of here in the direction of Brend beyond the watershed as Breg (slightly disputed source of the Danube at the Martinskapelle), which after a long journey (around 40 km) at Donaueschingen united with the Brigach to form the actual Danube (controversial second source of the Danube in Donaueschingen near the Brigach!) and, as is well known, flows into the Black Sea far to the east.
