 Its origin is the "Loosenbrunnen" springs on the north flank of the 533-metre-high Weinbiet on the eastern edge of the Palatinate Forest.Between 1952 and 1988, water from the spring was pumped up and used as drinking water in the local bar of "Weinbiethaus".The combined stream feeds a small reservoir serving tourism in the Gimmeldingen Valley and then reaches the vines landscape flanking the German Wine Route.
