The along the federal highway 458 running trough has the opposite as seen on an absolutely much smaller catchment area, which, however, nevertheless that the Haune exceeds above its mouth ( 33.54 vs. 27.57 km ² ), with their lead in the effluent as well as in the length ( 16.1 vs. 12.6 km ) is even greater. Accordingly, it is only nominally a tributary of the Haune dar.
