Hiking
Here in the Herrenwald forest, near the Rhine-Weser watershed, at the so-called Neustadt Saddle, the central part of the Upper Hessian Ridge, lies the source of this stream. It still lies within the municipal area of Stadtallendorf, but after just about 300 meters, the stream reaches the Neustadt area and winds its way through, among other places, the Neustadt town center and the village named after it, Wiera, before finally flowing into the Schwalm River in Treysa.
The source area is relatively unspectacular: boggy ground and numerous puddles and pools. There is no bubbling spring.

The Wiera is an almost 15 km long, left or southwest tributary of the Schwalm in the Hessian districts of Marburg-Biedenkopf and Schwalm-Eder.
