The Olsa , also: Olsabach , is a left tributary of the Metnitz . It emerges in Neumarkt in Styria from the confluence of the Perchauerbach and Hoferdorferbach rivers.
To the south of Neumarkt it flows through the gorge, a gorge-like valley cut and then on through a mostly narrow valley. Shortly before Wildbad Einöd it takes the Pöllauer Bach on the right. In front of Dürnstein there is a small hydropower plant with a 400 m long diversion . Under the striking Dürnstein ruins , the narrow valley opens out into the Friesacher Feld. On the Friesacher Feld it enters Carinthia, and after another five kilometers it flows into the Metnitz.
The name Olsa is Slavic and is interpreted as Erlenbach , in Alpine Slavic olьša (in modern Slovenian: jelša ).
