The highest source of the Spree is on the western slope of the Kottmar at a height of 478 meters. In 1921, a semi-circular phonolite stone wall was built around the source in a slope niche on the Kottmar, from which the Eibauer Spreequelle, also known as Buchenborn, emerges. It lists the hometowns of those who died in World War I and were members of the Lusatia Mountain Club. The complex surrounded by beech and spruce trees was renovated in 1957.

The Stone Cross on Weinberg

Highlight • Monument

Even if the cross you can see here is made of wood and only rests on a stone base, it has been given the name "The Stone Cross on the Vineyard". The name comes from a predecessor cross that stood nearby and had to give way to road construction. It was a typical memorial cross in memory of someone who had died at this point.
