The first sandstone spring casing from the 1940s was redesigned in 1973 and acquired its current representative appearance in 1985. A bronze plaque by Erich Husemann from Trappstadt has commemorated the importance of the Franconian Saale since 1987. The spring stream flows southwest through Alsleben, where it joins the Fleusengraben, and joins the left source stream north of Bad Königshofen-Untereßfeld.

The Franconian Saale originates in the Grabfeld near the Haßberge Mountains, east and southeast of Bad Königshofen, respectively, from two roughly equal, 3.9 km long source streams: Its right and northern source streams originate from the Saalbrunnen (not to be confused with the Saalbrunnen, also located in Franconia), approximately 1.7 kilometers east of Alsleben, a district of Trappstadt. The spring is located in an open field, less than 500 meters from the Thuringian border, just off the NES 45 district road, which leads to Gompertshausen. The young Franconian Saale rises there at 313 meters above sea level, below the Kapellenberg (390 meters above sea level). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A4nkische_Saale

The moated castle is almost hidden away, accessible via a small road that branches off from Sulzdorf at Lederhecke. https://inges-reiseblog.de/wasserschloss-brennhausen/

Brennhausen Castle is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside. https://grabfeld-grenzenlos.de/burg-brennhausen/

The northern source of the Franconian Saale rises here. The spring is beautifully framed and there is a nice place to sit there.

Todays use The lake is now used as a local recreation area. Large parts are open to swimming, diving, sailing and fishing. The remaining areas are created as biotopes and designated as nature reserves. Another use is as water retention to avoid flooding in spring when the snow melts and to feed the Sauerquellebach with enough water in the dry times in summer and autumn. With a total area of 33 hectares, the lake is the largest reservoir in Lower Franconia.[1] It is surrounded by forest all around. The circular route is 4.4 km long. Parts of the north shore of the lake have sunbathing areas, a sandy beach and bathing jetties. In 1983 and 2022 the lake was completely drained for renovation work. After a ground closure was built in 2022, the reservoir no longer needs to be completely emptied in the event of renovation work. The drain was closed again on September 22, 2022 and the filling of the lake with rainwater and snow is expected to be completed by spring 2024. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellertsh%C3%A4user_See
