Here, a small lake has formed in a former quarry. The rock faces are reminiscent of the time when Proterobas was mined here – a rare rock with a long mining and usage history in the Fichtelgebirge. Today, the abandoned quarry with its water looks almost like a natural forest lake.

The Geldbrunnen is a natural monument that recalls the old stories surrounding the search for gold and treasures in the Fichtelgebirge. According to legend, the "Venetians" once searched for valuable treasures here. Was gold actually found here? In any case, nothing of a treasure can be seen today.
