The Sayn (frequently also Saynbach called) is a small river of approximately 50 km length in the south of the Westerwaldes, which rises with Himburg/WW. As its source frequently the Weiher is indicated, however the Saynbach flows through this only. Its source is to be found about 1 kilometer before the Weiher. Into Bendorf (between the cities Koblenz and Neuwied) it flows into the Rhine.

Waters runs completely in the Land of the Federal Republic Rhineland-Palatinate, its source area lies halfway between Wetzlar and Koblenz (Unterwesterwald). The underflow of the river forms approached the south border of the nature park Rhine Westerwald and affected also the protected area In this range of the Sayntales lie several ponds, which were already placed around the turn of the century by the Prussian government under landscape protection.

Once a year, usually in June, the Sayntal of Selters (Westerwald) to Bendorf Sayn for motorized vehicles gesperrtund is used on this day by cyclists. At all the Sayntal for leisure cyclists is suitable due to its even and small downward gradient very well.

The most important places at the central and underflow of the Sayn are (river downward): Maxsain, Selters (Westerwald), Deesen, the suburb Sayn and the city Bendorf.

Beside the Saynbach there are still the small Saynbach, which rises with cow yards, by Niedersayn, Quirnbach, Oberhaid and Ellenhausen flows, where he flows into the "large" Saynbach.
