    The 460 meter long headrace tunnel begins at a weir around twelve meters wide near the Rabenauer Mühle. It is two meters wide and 2.20 meters high. The moated castle is located on the steep slope of the Rote Weißeritz, from which the water is led to the turbines via a 176 meter long pressure pipe with a diameter of 1.10 meters. The fall height is 39.22 meters with a maximum flow of 3.3 m³ per second. Excess water is channeled back into the Rote Weißeritz via a natural stone cascade at the moated castle.

        The 10 steps of the cascade were renewed in 1991.
