The Oswaldbach is a right tributary of the Große Mittweida, approximately 9.5 km long, in the Saxon Ore Mountains. The Oswaldbach rises at an elevation of 684 m in the Schleßwig (also known as Großes Schwarzholz), a boggy woodland below the Schwarzer Stein (706 m) northeast of Grünhain. Unlike most rivers in the Saxon Ore Mountains, it flows predominantly southwards. After a few hundred meters, it enters the Oswaldtal Landscape Conservation Area.

The area natural monument Mühlgraben Sendig-Mühle is the oldest paper mill in Zwönitz, it was first mentioned in 1540. In 1545, the Elector of Saxony granted her the privilege of making paper from rags. After the Brüderlein papermaking family, the Sendig family owned the mill from 1695 to 1858. In addition to manual paper making, press shavings were also produced from around 1800. The old mill burned down in 1867 and larger and more modern factory buildings were built. Paper production ended in 1877 and the entire property became the property of Oscar Koch in 1886. The ruins with the wheel chamber and the waterfall were demolished in 1980. The reconstruction was carried out by ABM. (https://www.outdooractive.com/mobile/de/poi/greifsteinregion/die-sendig-muehle/59576330)

Opposite the Strobel promenade on the left-hand side of Zschopau is a magnificent waterfall, which is the outflow of an artificial ditch. This 1500m long ditch was built to operate the Max Strobel mill between Wiesa and Wiesenbad. In the immediate vicinity is also the railway viaduct on the Erzgebirge railway line: Chemnitz - Cranzahl (via Annaberg-Buchholz / https://www.komoot.de/highlight/2849623), as well as a wonderful seating area with a table that invites you to linger and rest.
