Course
The source region of the Ulrichswasser lies roughly northeast of Königskrug in the Königsbruch marsh at the foot of the Achtermannshöhe ridge at a height of about 760 metres. The stream then descends a height of 180 metres over a distance of 3 km (1.9 mi) before discharging into the Warme Bode at a height of about 580 m above sea level.
The stream is not named after the forester Arthur Ulrichs (1838–1927) as might be supposed. It is described as the Ulmersches Wasser already on a forest map from the 18th century.
