The weir , also called Wohra in the upper reaches , is a 36.4 km long, southern and orographically left tributary of the Werra in the northeast of northern Hesse ( Germany ).
course
The weir is being built in the southeast of the Kaufunger Forest around 2 km east-southeast of the Hirschberg ( 643.4 m ) at the northern foot of the Exberg ( 505.5 m ). Here it flows northeast of the village of Rommerode , a southern district of Großalmerode , 438.5 m above sea level. NHN high-altitude Exbergsee .
Initially, as Wohra, it moves south to Walburg , an eastern district of Hessisch Lichtenau , which is west of the Hoher Meissner ( 753.6 m ). After flowing through the village, the stream, now called weirs, runs southeast and is spanned southwest of the mountain range by the 530 m long Wehretalbrücke of the federal motorway 44 and accompanied by the federal road 7 times on the left and sometimes on the right. Then the weir flows - in the river section between Küchen (district of Hessisch Lichtenau), Hasselbach and Harmuthsachsen (both districts of Waldkappel) - along the B 7 through the southeast part of the geo-nature park Frau-Holle-Land (Werra Valley, Meissner, Kaufunger Forest) . It then runs through the Waldkappel core town and then eastwards along the Waldkappel – Wehretal section of the Kanonenbahn and through the Waldkappel district of Bischhausen .
At Oetmannshausen , a part of the municipality of Wehretal , it flows into the Sontra from the south , by far its most important tributary; here the weir bends to the north, now with the Bebra – Göttingen railway line and federal road 27 next to it. Then it passes the village of Reichensachsen on the eastern bank and the villages of Niddawitzhausen and Eltmannshausen von Eschwege on the western bank. After the Alte Wehre has turned right, it runs like this through the Niederhone district of Eschweg .
After the northern end of the village, it crosses under the federal highway 249 and soon flows into the Weser source river Werra at a height of around 155 m ; opposite its mouth to the north is Jestädt , a western part of Meinhard .
