The Obere Waldteich is located in the corridor of the Moritzburg district of Boxdorf and, together with the neighboring Niedere Waldteich , belongs to the Moritzburg pond area . The 26 hectare pond was created around 1530 by the Saxon Duke Georg the Bearded and has been used primarily for the fishing industry since then. The pond has also been used for tourism since the 1920s. This resulted in two baths and a sanatorium.
