Course

Shortly after its source the Brunnenbach is impounded by the Silberteich reservoir, before it continues in a southeasterly direction past the Mutter-Kind-Heim Waldmühle, a mother-and-child centre, and local campsite. It then passes the forest inn of Forellenteich and the forest youth centre of Brunnenbachsmühle (de), before finally turning east. The Brunnenbach is one of the most important tributaries of the Warme Bode. From its source to its mouth, the Brunnenbach descends some 220 meters in its 12 km journey.
