"The Baybach is a nearly 30 km long right tributary of the Moselle in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The source streams of the Baybach rise at an altitude of about 500 m in the Hunsrück southwest and southeast of the municipality of Hausbay and merge in the center of the town to form the Baybach.
In the upper reaches, the stream flows through a valley and crosses the Hunsrückhöhenstraße near Reifenthal Castle. The further course leads in numerous twists and turns through a gorge-like valley. In the middle reaches near Waldeck Castle, the valley narrows to a ravine.
In Burgen, the Baybach finally flows from the right and finally from the south into the Moselle, which is coming from the southwest, at an altitude of about 75 m.
The approximately 30 km long course of the Baybach ends about 379 meters below its source."

"Waldorf" has already described everything beautifully. Now we also know why the dream loop is called Baybachquellen.
Plural, because the Baybach is fed by several spring streams.
