The weirs rises in the southeast of the Kaufunger forest. You entfließt the Exbergsee ( 438.5 m above sea level. NHN ), the 2 km east-southeast of Hirschberg's ( 643.4 m) and just north of the Exbergs ( 505.5 m ) northeast of the village Rommerode, a southern district of Großalmerode, is.

Initially it flows as Wohra south to Walburg, an eastern suburb of hessian Lichtenau that the High Meissner is west ( 753.6 m). After flowing through the village which is now called weirs stream runs to the southeast, where he south-west of the massif which Wehretalbrücke (530 m long; Federal Highway 44) passes under along with the Federal Highway 7. After the weirs flows - in the river section between kitchens (part of hessian Lichtenau ), Hasselbach and Harmuthsachsen (both districts of forest Kappel ) - along the B 7 through the southeast part of the nature park Meissner Kaufunger forest. Then it runs through the forest Kappeler nucleus and then east along the section of forest Kappel- Wehretal the canon path and through the woods Kappeler district Bischhausen.

In Oetmannshausen, a municipality part of Wehretal where her Sontra flows from the south, turn the weirs to the north to follow the railway line now Bebra -Göttingen and State Road 27.
