The Wesenitz rises in the Hohwald, part of the Lusatian Mountains, at 515 m above sea level on the Valtenberg from the mouth of the Valentin Erbstollen, an old mine.

It flows through Neukirch, Bischofswerda, past Stolpen and passes the Lusatian Fault at Dürrröhrsdorf at the so-called Teufelskanzel, where it enters the Elbe sandstone. Here it flows through the Liebethaler Grund. It flows into the Elbe in the Pratzschwitz district of Pirna. [3]

With a length of 83 kilometers, the Wesenitz is one of the longer right tributaries of the Elbe.
