Route

It rises to about 525 meters above sea level at Reinsfeld as Dörrenbach, is joined by the Rotbach near Hermeskeil and is then called Löster. It flows through the mills at the Steiner forest and crosses under the Federal Highway 1 (European route E422), flows through Bierfeld and Löstertal and flows at about 265 meters above sea level south of the Saarland town Wadern near the Dagstuhl Castle into the Prims, shortly before the mouth of the Wadrill in the Prims. The Hochwald train runs from Hermeskeil through the valley and crosses it in the area where the Felsbach (border between Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland) opens into the Löster.
