The Kleine Aa rises in East Westphalia 7 km north of the border to Hessen between Bad Wunnenberg the north-northwest and Marsberg in the east on the border between Briloner plateau to the west and the north Sintfeld. Its source located 4.5 km west of Marsberg or about 5.4 km north-east of Brilon Madfeld district. Its water enters small wetland, located approximately 650 m northeast of the skull (502.6 m above sea level. NHN) and about 50 m covers (distances depending crow) north-northeast of the skull stone on average 465 meters above sea level.
A few hundred meters northeast of Bach origin springs from the Karpke ( "Cold Siepen"), not far south are the northern boundary of the nature park Diemelsee and the headwaters of Dütlingsbachs. The "Sister Bach" Kleine Aa, the Great Aa, rises about 1.5 km south-west of its source.
The Kleine Aa flows through the landscape in the transition region of Upper Marsberger Forest in the southeast and Madfelder forest in the west, and Fürstenberger forest in the northeast. Accompanied by forest and trails of Bach runs predominantly north, where he fed a total of seven ponds and a former glassworks happened between the second and third of these still waters.
