It starts at the lake's eastern bay, south of the peninsula Maria Loretto and runs more like a channel straight to the east.

It passes Viktring Abbey, an old monastery which is now a suburb of Carinthia's capital Klagenfurt, and finally flows into the Glan near the market town of Ebenthal.

In summer it is the southern recreation area of Klagenfurt with a number of opportunities for free bathing and a bicycle track along the river.

The river was to become a national borderline following the Paris Peace Conference, 1919,[3] which then had not been established according to the results of the 1920 Carinthian Plebiscite.
