Weißeritz

The Weißeritz is a river of Saxony, Germany. It is 13.7 km [8.5 mi] long and a left tiburary of the Elbe.
The river is formed by the confluence of the Wild Weißeritz and Red Weißeritz in Freital.
The Weißeritz runs through Freital and Dresden. It crosses the deep valley Plauenscher Grund between Freital and Dresden and enters the Dresden Basin. The railway line from Dresden to Nuremberg runs next to the river in his close valley. The river is displaced in an old sidearm in Dresden for flood protection reasons and therefore canalised. In Dresden, it enters the Elbe from the left.
