The river rises in the Eastern Ore Mountains, Saxon Switzerland County. The source of Triebisch is located in the forest between Tharandter Klingenberg - Colmnitz and Grillenburg ( Old Triebisch = X -Bach, Croats water). It flows in a narrow valley named after her former municipality Triebischtal. Particularly well known is the part of the valley " Tannenberger hole " because there used to be the Federal Highway 4 was. In Rothschönberg the Triebisch takes through the Rothschönberger Stolln on the mining waters of the Freiberg mining district and ends after flowing through the Meissner district Triebischtal in Meissen in the Triebisch suburb across from Coelln into the Elbe.

Headwaters in the forest Tharandter

The length of the Triebisch is differently either 33.4 km or 37 mi - the length of 37 km of the actual reference length of the river, that is calculated from the most distant headwaters to the mouth of the Elbe correspond. This applies to the X - stream and the Croats water. The 33.4 km correspond to the confluence of the Old and the New Triebisch Triebisch. An accurate source location is historically not named. From locals the source of the X - stream ( 450.9 m above sea level. NN ) on the corridor 20 / Bahnhofstrasse is (now called false Salt Road ) ( the city Tharandt district Grillenburg ) near specified in Tharandter forest from the Klingenberg - Colmnitz station as Triebisch source. Also in the book " The Great Water Crisis in Saxony in 1897 " can be found: " The source of Triebisch located at Klingenberg. "

Construction of the palace complex of Grillenburg and the investment of the castle surrounding ponds local conditions have been greatly changed. They needed both a continuous flow of water, as well as protection against flooding. In addition, water for the mill Grillenburg was needed. For this you created the storage pond at the Black Puddle, north of the lazy puddle, about 1 km South of hunting lodge Grillenburg, with two controllable outflows. One leads directly to the earlier four and today three castle ponds (at times with Kalkmühle and barrages for fish farming ), the other with a feeding opportunity in the lower castle pond, the woman Steiner Street, through the village Grillenburg, from the mill Grillenburg generally considered Triebisch named. Here, however, it is the New Triebisch which behind the place Grillenburg, approximately between the Croats and Gypsies stone place, with the old Triebisch itself - now called Croats water - combined.

The X - stream and the Croats water was led as Old Triebisch the place Grillenburg east of the Hofewiese around to be able to accompany with the goal via a channel of water in case of need to grill burgers castle ponds, on the other hand back to the castle and the town from flooding. protecting Another channel, the raft moat, east into the woods leader and still visible today, drew water over the watershed Triebisch / Weißeritz to Seerenteichen to support the raft operation at the Wild Weißeritz.
