Spiral approximately 25 km south the place.

The place is at the trusting brook, because of the foot black forests of the timber forest. South and north the place lie wooded mountains of 525 and/or. 500 m over NN. Directly west the place runs the national border to the Saarland. Eighth brook neighboring places are bridges, Traunen, Meckenbach as well as the Saarland place iron (municipality Nohfelden, district pc. Spiral).

Eighth brook does not have a rail connection. The next station is seven kilometers southeast in new bridge because of the close valley course.
