Flowing primarily to the east-northeast, the Salwey flows through the villages of Obersalwey , Niedersalwey , Sieperting , Niedereslohe and Sallinghausen , around 1 km east at 284 m above sea level. NHN flows into the Wenne on the left .

Tributaries
Numerous, sometimes very short, streams flow to the Salwey from the slopes of the surrounding heights. The most important tributary is the 10.4 km long Esselbach . After flowing through Eslohe , this stream flowing in from the south flows into Niedereslohe. With a catchment area of 26.633 km², it accounts for about 4/10 of that of the Salwey. With a length of 9.1 km and a catchment area of 15.720 km², the Marpe is also worth mentioning. In the following, the tributaries are named in the order from the source to the mouth, which are managed by the Cologne District Government (former Land Survey Office). In each case, the orographic position of the mouth, the length, the size of the catchment area, the altitude of the mouth and the river code are given.

The lower course shortly after Sallinghausen is part of the Wennetal nature reserve and has also been designated as a FFH area Wenne.
