A branch called Alte Jäglitz flows into the Dosse near Rübehorst.Jäglitz is a small river located in the regions of Brandenburg and Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The river is notable for its two branches: the Alte Jäglitz (Old Jäglitz), which flows into the Dosse near Rübehorst, and the Neue Jäglitz (New Jäglitz), which flows into the Havel near Vehlgast and Havelberg. The river's source is in the eastern part of the district of Heiligengrabe, and its total length is approximately 47.9 kilometers.

The Jäglitz flows southward, passing near the town of Kyritz, and splits into its two arms west of Neustadt (Dosse). Historically, the lower course of the Jäglitz was subject to significant water management and diking, especially during the drainage of the Rhinluch wetlands in the 18th century. Before these interventions, the river, together with the Dosse, formed an extensive swamp area known as the "Schwarzes Wasser" (Black Water).
