The Biely Váh (German White Waag ; Hungarian Fehér-Vág ) is one of the two headwaters of the Slovak river Waag . It arises from the confluence of the Zlomiskobach and the Furkotabach west of the Tschirmer lake in the High Tatras on the slope of the Kriváň and is 30 km long. At the beginning the river flows southwards, at the municipality Važec it turns in a westerly direction and flows with the Black Waag to the Waag at Kráľova Lehota .
