A short hike to the river spring. The small fountain is very well maintained and you can sign in a guest book. Visitors should not park their car at the entrance to a forest path (not even on the edge). The police are very attentive. Unfortunately there is no official parking. Výhledy is quite remote.
The White Elster is a 257-kilometre-long (160 mi) river in central Europe. It is a right tributary of the Saale. The source of the White Elster is in the westernmost part of the Czech Republic, in the territory of Hazlov. After a few kilometres, it flows into eastern Germany where it cuts through the Vogtland in a "deep and picturesque valley". In Germany it flows through the states of Saxony, Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt. The White Elster flows through the cities of Plauen, Greiz, Gera, Zeitz, Pegau and Leipzig, and into the river Saale in Halle.
