The Wapelbach, sometimes just called the Wapel and in the upper reaches Wehrbach, is a 35.5 km long left-hand tributary of the Dalke and is part of the Ems water system, so its water ultimately flows into the North Sea.

The Wapelbach rises as a Wehrbach east of Stukenbrock near the former federal highway 68 on the southeast slope of the Osningstrang of the Teutoburg Forest and crosses the Wehrbachtal nature reserve in its upper reaches. Only after almost five kilometers in length does the body of water change its name to "Wapelbach", flows as such through the communities of Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Verl, Rietberg, Rheda-Wiedenbrück and Gütersloh (all in the Gütersloh district) and flows out near the "Neue Mühle". ’ in the Pavenstädt district of Gütersloh into the Dalke, about a kilometer before this river flows into the Ems.

At Kaunitz, the Wapelbach takes on the Rodenbach on the right-hand side and flows there in a wide floodplain through the Grasmeerwiesen nature reserve. It then flows through the Rietberg district of Neuenkirchen. In the vicinity of the Gütersloh district of Kattenstroth, it takes up the Ölbach on the right-hand side. On the entire route, the river flows mainly through agricultural areas, but also through forest areas of the Senne landscape upstream of the Teutoburg Forest and the Rheda Forest, as well as through two nature reserves.

The Wapelbach is touristically connected to the European cycle path R1, which runs about eight kilometers in the river area. The Wapelbach passes under the important traffic arteries Federal Motorway 33, Federal Motorway 2, Federal Road 61 and the Hamm-Minden railway line.
