The Nagold rises here at Besenfeld at an altitude of 811 meters. 92 kilometers later, it flows into the Enz at an altitude of 250 meters near Pforzheim. A great route that is worth doing by bike!

The following legend is told about the Nagold spring: A noble lady once got lost in the area around Altensteig. She came to the source of the Nagold, which the noble lady called "Irre Nagold" (Irrous Nagold) precisely because she had gotten lost there. Incidentally, this is also the name of the hamlet at the source of the river, which is now referred to as Urnagold.

At the Nagold spring is a small raised reservoir bearing the year 1888, which originally served to supply the community of Besenfeld via an iron pipeline.

The source version from 1888 was once the water supply of Besenfeld. Today, most of the wells in town are still fed with this water.
