The other branch, the Artesiaga brook, starts at the power station of the same name and runs southeast-northwest through Irurita before flowing into the River Baztan upstream from Arraioz. The site ends at the bridge to the Señorio de Bertiz Natural Park and SAC in Oronoz-Mugaire 4.6 km downstream from the confluence of the two rivers.
