Geography

The Polenz rises from nine springs on the German-Czech border between the villages of Langburkersdorf and Nová Víska (Neudörfel). The springs are located southwest of the 461 m high Roubený (Raupenberg) mainly on German territory and unite at a height of 363 m above sea level. The upper reaches of the Polenz form the natural boundary between the Hohwald and Saxon Switzerland.
