It rises in the Steiner Alps and flows, always heading north, first through the mountainous Vellachtal, which covers the municipality of Eisenkappel-Vellach, between the Steiner Alps, the Petzen and Obir massifs. After the town of Rechberg, it leaves its narrow valley and enters the Jauntal, only to merge into the Drau after a short distance near Gallizien.
