Topography

The creek originates near a residential area and near the northern end of the main road Nevigeser road in 263 m height. The first stretch of the creek runs around 500 meters above ground in a small unspoiled natural area and leads to the south along the road Nevigeser road. With the wet meadow by the stream and the large meadows with playground, which is equipped with a halfpipe, park-like recreation area is created here with the paved road.

The Briller Bach has here formed a small valley in the shale, followed by the road. In the further course of the stream is piped and runs underground on. He follows the course of the Nevigeser road, Boschstraße and Krupp road and then crosses under the federal motorway 46

Now the creek follows further south the further course of Brill Street, which got its name from the creek. Same time, this main street is the eastern boundary to the Brill district, which lies on the eastern slope of Availing the mountain, and the western boundary of the Mount of Olives. Next to the amount of Katernberger road the stream runs piped into the Wupper to its mouth in 148 meters above the sea level. The mouth is after the crossing under the highway 7 near the monorail station Robert - Daum-Platz.
