The Blies is a right tributary of the Saar River in south-western Germany (Saarland) and north-eastern France (Moselle). The Blies flows from three springs in the Hunsrück mountains near Selbach, Germany. It is approximately 100 km long, ending in the French city of Sarreguemines. It flows through Sankt Wendel, Neunkirchen and Blieskastel (one of several cities named after the river). Its lower course forms the border between France and Germany.
