Geography and hydrography

Its water flows as a small stream northeast between Dissen and Besse and flows after a total of about 3.0 km on the southwestern outskirts of Holzhausen at around 182 m above sea level. NN in the Eder tributary Pilgerbach .
The spring water of the Glisborn (the "glistening" Born) is said to have been clear and ice-cold, and it was said that it washed clean without soap. According to Pfister, women still came to Glisborn from a great distance in the 1840s to wash their white clothes.

Genesis
According to legend, Charlemagne roamed the Gudensberg area with his army. His warriors were thirsty. The emperor gave his white horse the spurs . The horse stamped its hoof so hard that a stone came off the rock, leaving a hoofprint on it. Where the stone had loosened, a fresh spring gushed, the Glisborn, and the whole army could quench its thirst.
A stone with a chiseled hoof print was built into the wall of the church in nearby Karlskirchen , now a desert , and was considered the hoof print of Karl's horse. With the introduction of the Reformation in the Landgraviate of Hesse in 1526, the Karlskirche was demolished as a refuge for paganism. Years later, the stone reappeared in the churchyard wall in Gudensberg, where it can still be seen today.
