The White Elster (Czech: Bílý Halštrov) is a 257-kilometer[3] long right tributary of the Saale, of which the share in Germany is 245.4 kilometers.
It rises in the Czech Republic in the Elster Mountains east of Aš (Asch), about one kilometer as the crow flies from the German-Czech border (west of the border stone 5/18)[4] near Bärendorf, not far from the village of Výhledy (Steingrün). It flows through the cities of Plauen, Gera and Leipzig and flows into the Saale in the south of the Halle district of Silberhöhe.
