The Nameless initially flows in a westerly direction to the mouth of the coming of the south Büre. Then she runs northwestward gradually northward through the west-southwest of the Northern Light ( 792.2 m) lying Silbach, a northwestern district of Winterberg, where it is also called Lamelofe and fed by the coming of the Nordhelle Strülleken. Then the river flows north and reaches open out after the coming of the East Burmecke and after passing the master stone ( 636.4 m ) to the west and Iberg ( 703.7 m ) to the east with Siedlinghausen another northwestern district of Winterberg.

Protected areas and

The source and the upper reaches of the Nameless is in the nature reserve ( NSG) Nameless - valley system ( CDDA-Nr. 389 837, reported in 2008, 89 ha in size). A small NSG part is the same as the Fauna-Flora -Habitat - area mountain meadows at Winterberg ( FFH-Nr. 4717-305; 4.87 km ² ) were reported. The NSG also run Büre, hard Erbach and Raven soaps or at least portions of this small nameless - feeds. Shortly before the Silbach the Nameless flows in the conservation area Winterberg, type A (General landscape protection). Thereafter, the stream runs in the local situation Silbach. The next piece of the stream is located in a nature reserve valley system of the Negroes, the type C ( green valleys, significant extensive grassland ). This is followed, before lying in Siedlinghausen confluence with the Negro, once a stream section in the conservation area Winterberg.

In the NSG and FFH many rare plants and animals of the Red List are present. In it there are extensive damp and wet meadows that are locally interspersed with rushes and seggenreichen source swamps. The Nameless and their tributaries are entirely undeveloped in the NSG. The stock of spruce was reduced there in winter 2008/ 09 on a spruce plot. Meanwhile, the North Rhine -Westphalia Foundation has purchased more than 40 hectares in the nature reserve at the request of the Association for Nature and Birds in Hochsauerlandkreis. The surfaces of this foundation are extensively grazed by cattle according to the specifications of the cultural landscape care program of Hochsauerlandkreises.

The Black Stork, which nests in the south adjacent forests, is more common food guest on stream. Until the early 1990s, occurring as a breeding bird snipe is extinct in nature reserve Nameless - valley system as in the whole Hochsauerlandkreis as a breeding bird. In contrast, it can be observed in the fall and spring on the draft. Individual snipe rest even longer time in the NSG. Even at high snow coverage individual birds were detected on snow-free source areas.
