Template:Short description Template:Infobox river The Freiberger Mulde (also called the Östliche Mulde or Eastern Mulde; Template:Langx) is the right-hand, Template:Convert headstream of the river Mulde, whose catchment covers an area of Template:Cvt in the Czech Republic and Germany in central Saxony. It has a volumetric flow of Template:Cvt which is greater than that of the other headstream, the Zwickauer Mulde (or Westliche Mulde or Western Mulde) who flow is about Template:Cvt,<ref>The average discharge of the Zwickauer Mulde at its mouth is recorded by the values of the Wechselburg 1 gauge (Zwickauer Mulde) and indirectly by the Golzern 1 (Mulde) and Erlln (Freiberger Mulde). For the intermediate catchment below Wechselburg, the drainage flow for the area is recorded from the gauge data and multiplied by the catchment area of the Zwickauer Mulde below the Wechselburg 1 gauge.</ref> which is nevertheless the longer stream.
The source of the river is in the Ore Mountains, near Moldava, in the Czech Republic. It runs northwest, crossing the border with Germany after a few kilometers, to Freiberg (hence the name), and further northwest through Nossen, Döbeln and Leisnig. A few kilometers north of Colditz, the Freiberger Mulde is joined by the Zwickauer Mulde to form the Mulde. The Mulde is a tributary of the Elbe.
