The Traunbach, also called Thranenbach in the upper reaches, rises in the Thranenbruch west of Hüttgeswasen and flows into the Nahe after almost 20 km at Neubrücke. Riedbruch, Langbruch and Ochsenbruch also drain into the Traunbach. The fractures mentioned above are typical hill bogs of the Hunsrück, all of which are designated as nature reserves. Due to its origin in the hillside moors, the water in the upper reaches of the Traunbach is quite acidic. The village of Thranenweiher am Traunbach is just a few kilometers below the source. Some historians assume that parts of the Nibelungen saga could have taken place there. Hagen von Tronje (or historically more precisely "von Tronege") possibly came from Dhronecken near Thalfang. The name of the place Thranenweiher possibly comes from the fact that Hagen von Tronje killed the hero Siegfried there while he was drinking while on a hunting trip at a spring. Because Kriemhild shed her tears there, the place was called "tear pond".

On the ridges of the high forest one can fi nd numerous rock formations made of white to reddish stones. This is the extremely hard quartzite. Like the slate of the Hunsrück, the quartzite was formed in a sea around 400 million years ago. The sea deposits formed a mountain range through folding, which was eroded by wind and weather over the course of millions of years. The hard quartzite offered the strongest resistance to erosion and therefore forms the ridges of the Hunsrück, where the Traunbach has dug through the quartz ridge , you can now see the rubble heaps made of quartzite chunks. If one were to follow the heap of the "Luisenruhe" visible here up the slope to the northeast, one would come up to the quartzite rock heads of the "Gebück" and the "Wehlenstein". On the opposite side of the Traunbach are the so-called "Minnafelsen" which go up to the "Beilfels" and the "Krummkehrfelsen".

Wild daffodils and wood anemones in abundance; Boulders over which the Traunbach ripples; also on the wayside always cubes that amaze.
