Course

It rises in the Bernsdorf Forest (Bernsdorfer Gemeindewald) near Heide, a village in the borough of Wiednitz (today part of Bernsdorf). As it makes its way westwards, this small river flows partly through the state of Brandenburg and partly through Saxony. In the Ruhland Heath (Ruhlander Heide) it forms the boundary between the two states. There it is also joined from the left by the Saleskbach, which comes from the heath villages of Cosel, Grüngräbchen and Großgrabe.

The Schwarzwasser then flows northwards through Jannowitz and Arnsdorf. It discharges into the Schwarze Elster near the town of Ruhland.

In Arnsdorf the Sieggraben dyke branches off on the left. It also enters the Black Elster, below Ruhland.

gollark: Are you complaining about what I said about `robpike/filter`?
gollark: Really? A package for that in a language which is awful and cannot give it a sane type? By an author who hates abstraction for some insane reason?
gollark: ||Sith lord actually. He worked against them.||

gollark: That is not the issue.
