    Hiking

    The Pleiße rises in the Drei-Linden-Brunnen in the district of Ebersbrunn and flows into the White Elster in Leipzig after about 90 kilometers and a 340 meter gradient.

    The first documentary mention of the place took place in 1118 in the foundation letter of the Zwickau cathedral with the establishment of the Albold fountain (today Pleißenquelle) as the western border point of the Marienkirchgau.

    On May 3, 1915, the centuries-old dispute over the Pleißenquelle was decided in favor of Ebersbrunn by a ministerial decision of the State of Saxony.

    The beginning of the Pleiße cycle path. A beautiful plant of the source.
