The Weißbach is a left tributary of the Wilden Weißeritz in Saxony.

course

Its source is to the south, a little below Hermsdorf in the Ore Mountains at around 750 m. The stream first flows in an easterly direction, then in a northerly direction through the Köhlergrund. At the confluence of the Hermsdorfer Bach (Richtergrund), where the Hermsdorf - Seyde road crosses the valley, the Ramm-Mühle stood until 1970. The Weißbach then reaches the lower end of Seyde (old road Hermsdorf - Seyde), here is the former vinegar mill on the left side of the valley. Then follows the lower part of the Weißbach valley. After about 4 kilometers the Weißbach flows into the Wilde Weißeritz near the former Kirstenmühle (demolished in 1971) between the Kempenmühle and Schönfeld. A hiking trail leads through the Weißbachtal, the valley is without traffic, without trade and apart from two houses (Seyde) uninhabited. Therefore, the stream is considered a valuable flowing water, the flow rate is about 80 liters per minute.
