The Kaitzbach spring (a so-called stratified spring) originates here and at several other points along the tree line. The natural monument was reactivated in 1954. Until around the turn of the stream, after about 500 meters, flowed into a pond that was used as a bath. In 1990 film scenes were shot for the film "Go Trabi Go".

The source of the twelve-kilometer-long Kaitzbach is located in a semi-open stone roundel. In the 18th century the Kaitzbach, along with Heiliger Born and Weißeritz, contributed to the drinking water supply of Dresden. What hardly anyone knows: The Kaitzbach has a second source in Kleinnaundorf. However, this is piped underground and is hardly visible.
