geography
Spring streams
The salt arises from the confluence of two source streams. Both are named Salz or Salzbach. The right, longer source stream rises in Hartmannshain , a district of Grebenhain , on the B 275 . It runs along the B 276 to the southeast through Völzberg and Lichenroth . Its largest inflow, the Sälzer water, flows into the sewage treatment plant. South of Salz it joins the left source stream.
The left, arid source stream rises east of Nieder-Moos , near the Mooser ponds that drain to the Fulda . It flows in a south-westerly direction through the town of Salz , where it operates the speck mill. There it flows together with the right source stream.
course
The salt runs after the confluence of the source streams to the south and flows through the Huttengrund to Bad Soden . There the salt already flows into the Kinzig in the area around Salmünster .
