In the small alley, you can see the Wilde Sau (Wild Boar).
Gardens surround it.
The information sign is located on the village street.

Info:

Source area of the Wilde Sau (Wild Boar).
The Wilde Sau (Wild Boar), also called the Saubach (Saubach),
is a left tributary of the Elbe.
It flows through the town of Wilsdruff, among others, and flows into the Elbe near Gauernitz after about
13 km.
The difference in altitude between the source
and the mouth is more than 100 m.

According to legend, a wild boar and its piglets stumbled upon a spring while rooting in the meadow,
which is why the stream was named Wilde Sau (Wild Sow) or Saubach (Saubach).
