The Small Aa rises in East Westphalia around 7 km north of the border between Hesse Bad Wünnenberg in the north - northwest and Mars mountain in the east at the interface between Brilon plateau in the west and in the north Sintfeld. Your source is located 4.5 km west of Mars mountain or about 5.4 km northeast of the town of Brilon part Madfeld. Your water entfließt a small wetland that extends approximately 650 m northeast of the skull ( 502.6 m above sea level. NN ) or 50 m ( depending on distances in a straight line ) north- northeast of the skull stone to an average of 465 m.

A few hundred meters northeast of the creek origin arises from the Karpke ( " Cold Siepen " ), near the south are the northern border of the nature park Diemelsee and the headwaters of the Dütlingsbachs. The " sister river " Kleine Aa Aa Large, rises about 1.5 km south-west of its source.

The Small Aa flows through the forested landscape in the transition region of Upper Marsberger forest in the southeast and Madfelder forest in the west, and Fürstenberger forest in the northeast. Accompanied by forest and hiking trails, the stream runs mainly north, where it feeds a total of seven ponds and a former glassworks happened between the second and third of these still waters.

Finally, the Small Aa flows approximately 3 km south of Furstenberg at 345.7 m in the Südostarm of traversed by Aabach Aabachstausees. Since the construction of this small reservoir the last almost 800 m flow path of the stream up to its former confluence with the Aabach are inundated by floodwaters of the reservoir; overall Small Aa is therefore about 6.3 km long.
