Located approximately 400 meters southeast of Oberweiler, a district of Meinheim.
It is a moss-covered tufa channel about 50 meters long and up to 20 centimeters deep. The shallow channel is interrupted several times along its course. It is fed by two springs. These are located about 5 meters apart, 80 meters upstream of the actual channel in a spring niche. In its shallow upper reaches, the stream has formed a few small sinter pools. The remains of an abandoned reservoir are visible immediately at the beginning of the channel.
