At this point the Mönchsbach is crossed, provided it is not flooded.

The Mönchsbach, also known as the Silberbornbach, in the Harz Mountains is a southern and orographically right tributary of the Goldbach in the Harz district of Saxony-Anhalt.
The syllable silver from Silberbornbach and Silberbach stands for the quality of the water.
This does not necessarily indicate silver in the water that was not mined here.
Rather, it can be assumed that the clear, silvery shimmering water gave the stream its name.
Born is an appellative only documented from 1469.
It means spring or spring water.
Thus, the Silberbornbach is a stream whose source supplies very clear, silvery shimmering water.
Grund comes from the Old High German or Middle High German word grunt, which originally meant the ground, or simply the bottom of something.
From Middle High German onwards, it has specifically become a term for a deeply cut valley or such a gorge.
The valley was thus obviously named after the source.
The actual name of the creek is derived from the name of the source, with -bach added later.
Today's name Mönchsbach may have a causal connection with the monastery on the lower reaches of the creek.
