The Mulde, also known as Vereinte Mulde or Vereinigte Mulde, is a left-hand, non-navigable tributary of the Elbe. It is formed southeast of Leipzig near Sermuth (Saxony) by the confluence of two large headwaters, the longer Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, which drains a larger catchment area with a greater discharge.

The river's catchment area covers large parts of Saxony and, in particular, by far the largest part of the northern slopes of the Ore Mountains. With a water flow of approximately 73 m³/s at its mouth[8], it is the fourth largest tributary of the Elbe.

Although the confluence of the two source rivers takes place at approximately half the total length of the Mulde, the Freiberger Mulde and Zwickauer Mulde already contribute over 80% of the total water volume. This is due to the shape of the catchment area, which is very wide in the Ore Mountains and narrows towards the Elbe, and also to the higher precipitation in the mountains and simultaneously higher proportion of runoff water. The shape of the catchment areas also means that the longer Zwickauer Mulde is the smaller of the two source rivers at the confluence.
