Course
editThe White Mulde rises north of Kottenheide, a village in the borough of Schöneck, at an elevation of 770 m above NN. Its source is in the pond of Oberer Muldeteich. The White Mulde runs in a northerly direction, through the Unterer Muldeteich and discharges after about 3 km into the Muldenberg Reservoir. There it unites with the Red Mulde to form the Zwickauer Mulde.
