The Salza is a 5.6 km long left tributary of the Helme in Nordhausen in Thuringia in Germany.

course

The Salza rises from the Salzaspring , the largest karst spring in Thuringia. It runs parallel to the Zorge through the northern part of Salza . It used to be dammed several times in the urban area and drove some mills. Today there are only a few weirs left in the Salza. One of them directs part of its very clear water to a fish farm. After a good 5.6 km run, the Salza flows into the helmets.
