    The small river Černá (Black Water) rises west of the Fichtelberg in Saxony, then flows into Czech territory and along the northern border of the Božídarské rašeliniště nature reserve. The river gets its name from the dark water, rich in humic substances, flowing from the numerous surrounding bogs. After 18.6 kilometers in the Czech Republic, the river flows back to Saxony and finally into the Zwickauer Mulde near Aue.

      It rises on the Hinterer Fichtelberg (1,206 m) in the Ore Mountains, initially flowing westward, and is initially known as the Seifenbächel (Soap Brook) until it reaches the Czech border near Gottesgab (Boží Dar).

      At the no longer existing Neumühle (Neumühle), the Plattner artificial ditch (Blatensky přikop) branches off, which once supplied water from the Schwarzwasser (Black Water) to the mines in the Platten (Horní Blatná) mining district on the Plattenberg.

        The bridge is painted a strong red. Some benches on the Christkindelweg also have the same colour. Maybe there was "red" on offer somewhere ....
