The source of the river is located about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south-east of Frauenstein in the Eastern Ore Mountains, above Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau on the edge of Kreuzwald forest and 600 metres (2,000 ft) from Weicheltmühle (a watermill) on Gimmlitz river.

The river passes through Reichenau, Kleinbobritzsch, Hartmannsdorf, Friedersdorf, Oberbobritzsch and Niederbobritzsch, Naundorf, Falkenberg, Krummenhennersdorf, Reinsberg and Bieberstein.

A well-known hiking path along Bobritzsch river between Krummenhennersdorf and Reinsberg is called Grabentour. Reinsberg Castle is located on a rock above the right bank of the river, Bieberstein Castle above its left bank.

Bobritzsch river joins Freiberger Mulde between Reinsberg and Siebenlehn, 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of Bieberstein castle.

Origin of the nameEdit

The name of the river originates from Old Sorbian Bobrica, derived from bobr (beaver), and signifies a water course where beavers lived.
