During the time of grazing, the watering trough served to water the villagers' livestock driven into the forest. Today, the spot is primarily used as a shady resting place for hikers and forestry workers. In summer, countless caddisfly larvae inhabit the spring water of the trough. In winter, a circular cross-country ski trail starting at the Rabenberg sports park is named after the trough. The watering trough at Rabenberg is already mentioned in the timber and forestry regulations of Elector August of Saxony from 1560. From the wayside cross at the gallows wing, not far from the watering trough, the Tränktrögelweg (Watering Trough Trail) leads down to the houses of Neue Sorge and Rabenberger Straße in Breitenbrunn, continuing as an extension of the Oberdörfer Flügel trail coming from Johanngeorgenstadt.

The "Rundteil" shelter (893 m above sea level) is located directly at the Rabenberg trailhead, in the Neudorf forest district. Information boards with details of the trail sections and difficulty levels complement the clean and well-maintained rest area. Excellent and comprehensive signage for the trails and hiking paths.

The whole-mile column is now located in the town center on a traffic island at the entrance to the Erlabrunn Clinics. Its original location was probably near the train station building opposite the Nonnenfelsen rock. The Electorate of Saxony postal mile column is part of a historic postal and road network dating back to the 18th century. This column was erected as part of the Electorate of Saxony's postal regulations of 1721 to indicate distances on postal and trade routes. The columns were intended to indicate quarter-mile, half-mile, or whole-mile distances on the routes. One Electorate of Saxony mile corresponded to 9.062 km. The columns indicated distances and walking times, often accurate to one-eighth of an hour.
