The Waldnaab spring, also called "Kreuzquelle" or "Kreuzbrunnen", is located close to the border with the Czech Republic near the town of Bärnau. It can only be reached on foot or by bike. Waldnaab crosses the border with the Czech Republic after just a few meters. Already increased significantly, it returns 1.3 kilometers further back to Germany.

The Waldnaabquelle is only accessible via cycling and hiking trails. It is best reached from the Silberhütte via the Nurtsch or Waldnaabtal cycle path in about 20 minutes. After just a few meters, the river crosses the border to the Czech Republic. Already significantly increased, she returns 1.3 kilometers further to Germany. In very dry periods, the source can dry up completely. The Waldnaab only sees the light of day a few meters further in the Czech Republic.

Small spring in the middle of the forest, nice path along the Nurtschpfad to get there.
