The Kösterbeck is fed from several small runlets, that drain the Teufelsmoor ("Devil's Moor") near Sanitz, and by the Moehlenbäk ca. 1.5 km south of Sanitz. As a result of agricultural use, the Kösterbeck has had its natural course changed. The Kösterbeck is crossed at Kessin by the A 19 motorway and empties, after 1.3 kilometres, into the Warnow.
