Course edit
The Eichbach springs between Steinbach and Hundeshagen in an area of predominantly agricultural use. It flows in a northerly direction. Shortly before Teistungen it incorporates the Finkgraben and another unnamed brook from Berlingerode. After flowing through Teistungen, at the northern development boundary it flows into the Hahle, a tributary of the Rhume.
