The Suhl is an approximately 22 kilometer long right tributary of the Werra in western Thuringia, in the Hessian - Thuringian border area.

It rises in the municipality of Moorgrund , west of Etterwind on the western slope of the Pfaffenberg . The Suhl then flows through Kupfersuhl, Ettenhausen an der Suhl , where it is crossed by the Werrabahn , and the Lindigshof to Marksuhl . Between Ettenhausen and Lindigshof, the Suhl is dammed in the Ettenhausen dam , which was created in the late 1980s.

Marksuhl is the largest town in the Suhl valley. To the west of Marksuhl follow the places Wünschensuhl , Fernbreitenbach , Hausbreitenbach and Herda , all districts of Werra-Suhl-Tal . In Hausbreitenbach the Suhl fed a pond that surrounded the former water castle Breitenbach .

Below the Berka industrial park, the Suhl flows into the Werra from the right between Berka and Gerstungen . The last 500 meters or so of the Suhl are shown on the topographic map as Kleine Werra , after a former tributary of the Werra.

Like almost all small rivers, the Suhl has been used as mill water by the neighboring communities since the Middle Ages.
