The Lichte flows north through the Thuringian Forest Nature Park, first through the Finsterer Grund , where a now closed section of the Sonneberg – Probstzella single-track railway line passes over it on a viaduct. It then reaches the municipality of Lichte, which extends for approximately 5 kilometres along its banks. In the centre of Lichte the Piesau joins the Lichte. Below the municipality of Lichte, the river passes through a roughly 3-kilometre long and 200-metre deep gorge, which ends in the Deesbach Forebay ). This is followed by the Leibis-Lichte Dam, the second tallest valley dam in Germany, 102.5 metres high. The municipality of Unterweißbach borders the dam and extends for approximately 3 kilometres along the river, which then empties into the Schwarza to the west of the municipality at Mankenbachsmuehle.
The Lichte and Piesau both have unusually steep and deep gorges, the difference between hill tops and valley bottoms often exceeding 200 metres .
