The Weidas, also called the Weidasserbach, is a roughly eleven-kilometre-long, orographically right-hand tributary of the Selz in the German region of Rhenish Hesse.

Course

The Weidas rises near Freimersheim and empties into the Rhine tributary of the Selz near Framersheim from the southwest. From its source to Dautenheim [de] (a district of Alzey) it is also called the Aufspringbach. It flows in sequence through Wahlheim, Kettenheim, Dautenheim and Gau-Heppenheim.
