The Wilischbach meanders for about 4.5 kilometers through a wooded valley to its mouth in the Lockwitzbach at the Teufelsmühle. In addition to its role in the wild and romantic landscape design, the Wilischbach also serves as an important drainage channel for the region. On its way, it impresses with moss-covered rock formations and small waterfalls, especially along the popular hiking trail through the Wilischgrund.

Whether mystical or not, the Wilischgrund with the Wilischbach is a very beautiful, natural path that anyone can actually walk. On the way to the Wilisch view it only gets a little steeper for about 500m, at the beginning everything is very easy and to enjoy.

There are also naturally formed small barrages in the Wilischbach in the area of the same name. The path through the bottom is rustic in lush vegetation.

Be careful what the weather is like, there is no standing water, but it is very mosquito-prone at the moment.

The Wilischbach flows into the Lockwitzbach at the end of the Wilischbachtal, whereby the valley also becomes the Lockwitzbachtal in this area.
