The Sorpe is an 18.6 km long left tributary of the Röhr and has its source in the Lennegebirge in the Sauerland-Rothaargebirge Nature Park. Its source is in Wildewiese, a small district of Sundern, on the western slope of the Schomberg (647.6 m). Initially, the Sorpe flows in a predominantly northerly direction through the Sundern districts of Hagen, Allendorf and Amecke into the foreland of the Sorpesees (Sorpe dam). Shortly after flowing through the Sorpesees, after which the Sorpe runs through an approximately 100 m long canal, it flows into the Röhr approximately on the southern edge of the Sundern district of Hachen.
