The Bernrichter Höhe is the "Central European watershed". Here, just under 600 meters above sea level, two springs spring up - barely 400 meters apart - and then go completely separate ways from the direction of the river. Since the Eiselbachquelle feeds directly on the western outskirts on Reinbach, Etzelbach, Lehenbach, Högenbach, Pegnitz, Regnitz, Main and finally Rhine the North Sea. On a completely different itinerary, however, about 400 meters southeast of it Peutentalquelle sends her bubbling wet. Via the Mühlbach, Erlbach, Rosenbach, the Vils, Naab and Danube, it reaches the big destination in the southeast, the Black Sea.

Here passes the Central European watershed. All water that flows north of this point flows into the Rhine. Everything southern flows into the Danube.
