course
The Obere Querenbach - about 2.4 km to the northeast there is the Untere Querenbach - has its source in Brünlos on the S 258 near the former excursion restaurant Waldschlößchen . After about 1 km of walking, it is dammed by the holy pond . This water storage, operated by the city of Stollberg, has a 7.5 m high earth dam and was built in 1949. There are numerous wells in the area that were built to supply the city of Oelsnitz after the First World War . The good quality of the water is due to the fact that the northern edge of the Ore Mountains is interspersed with numerous sloping hollows that are filled with rubble covers that filter the water. Via Mitteldorf the brook flows further to the north-west and flows into the Gablenzbach after a total of 4.2 km.
