    Unfortunately, the hydroelectric power station is no longer in operation today.

      The Wesenitz flows here in the valley:

      The Wesenitz rises in the Hohwald, part of the Lusatian mountains, at an altitude of 515 m on the Valtenberg from the mouth of the Valentin Erbstollen, an old mine.

      It flows through Neukirch, Bischofswerda, near Stolpen and passes the Lausitzer fault near Dürrröhrsdorf at the so-called Teufelskanzel, where it enters the Elbe sandstone. Here it flows through the Liebethaler Grund. It flows into the Elbe in the Pratzschwitz district of Pirna. The preglacial Wesenitz may have had its course in Oberneukirch to the east through the Wilthe valley basin into the Spree, moraines and gravel masses at the north foot of the Dahrener Berg therefore ensured the course to the west today.

      With a length of 83.6 kilometers, the Wesenitz is one of the longer right-hand tributaries of the Elbe.
