The consecration is an 11.5 km long, left or western tributary of the Werra in the district of Hersfeld-Rotenburg in Hesse and in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

The consecration has a catchment area of ​​around 64 km², about 60% of which is accounted for by the Suhl , which thus represents the actual main river; its discharge is 344 l / s.

course

The consecration arises in the Richelsdorf Mountains . Its source is east of the village of Bauhaus on the eastern flank of the Bauhaus height ( 416.3  m above sea  level ).

Initially, the consecration flows in an east-southeast direction through the village of Suss , after which it passes the Richelsdorfer Hütte and runs through Richelsdorf . Then the brook heads for the Hessian-Thuringian border. After crossing them and crossing under the federal autobahn 4 on the Weihetalbrücke and the Thuringian Railway (each in the section between Gerstungen and Wildeck - Obersuhl ), the Weihe flows through Untersuhl to shortly afterwards absorb the Suhl coming from the west .

Then the consecration bends to the north-northeast, 800 m after crossing the Gerstungen – Vacha ( freight transport ) line branching off from the aforementioned Thuringian Railway, flowing into the Werra coming from the south .
