    The "Yellow Water" is the drainage tunnel of the Davidskrone mercury mine near Föckelberg, which was closed in 1860.

    It was founded in 1781 by Philipp Schildt and named after the carpenter David Kron.

    The yellow color of the water comes from the iron-rich ochre that is washed out of the rock.

        You can read carefully why the water is yellow, it is interesting to look at and there is a nice bench to rest.
