The Elz rises in the Odenwald northwest of Oberscheidental am Dickbuckel at an altitude of 540 m.
The origin of the Elz is a so-called seepage source. In the case of seepage springs, the groundwater emerges in numerous small water veins. The water soaks the soil, so that a more or less large spring swamp forms.
