The mineral spring (Kyselka Dolní Paseky) was already mentioned in the 12th century, and since the 16th century, the healing properties of the "Niederreuther Säuerling" have been highlighted. The spring is attributed with positive effects on potency and longevity. Locals who drank the water are said to have reached a very old age. The water from the spring, located about one and a half kilometers west of the Bohemian-Saxon border, is highly mineralized and contains Glauber's salt; its composition is similar to the healing water of Franzensbad (Františkovy Lázně). It is recommended for rheumatism and metabolic problems. In 1870, the businessman Gustav Geipel from Aš had the mineral water analyzed and a wooden pavilion built above the spring, which was converted into an Art Deco-style brick building in 1930. In 2015 and 2017, the spring temporarily dried up, presumably due to a damaged collection pipe that had been improperly repaired with brittle concrete in previous years. In 2018, the town of Aš renovated the collection pipe, the pavilion, and the immediate surroundings. A new bridge was built over the stream Bílý Halštrov (Weiße Elster). Near the spring, there are benches, and the facility is currently maintained by residents and holiday home owners.

The castle is sadly falling into ruin. It belonged to the von und zu Zwernitz family, who were expelled from the Sudetenland after the Second World War. After the fall of the Iron Curtain, there was still a restaurant here. Now, some of the windows are missing. Nevertheless, the grounds are under video surveillance.

For example, if you're using komoot, you can also hike a few hundred meters through the Czech Republic. (A path in the wilderness)

The Royal Spa House was built in the Neo-Renaissance style between 1888 and 1890, the year of the Three Emperors, under the direction of the state architect Trobsch from Zwickau. As a whole, its representative design impressively underlines the international importance and acceptance of the Saxon royal spa at the end of the 19th century.

St. Michael's Church in Bad Brambach was consecrated in 1846. It was built in the Neo-Classical style and, with its 36-meter-high tower, dominates the town center. Many parts of the interior are older than the church's exterior; for example, the crucifix in the central aisle dates back to the previous church, which was destroyed in a fire in 1842. The altar and pulpit were purchased from the church in Marieney. The altar is a work by the Grüner woodcarver Simon Zeitler, dating from 1751. The three bronze bells from the Perner bell foundry in Passau, in contrast, are very new; they were consecrated in 2005. The old bells had to be taken out of service; they are now displayed on the south wall of the church and can be viewed there. The church houses a slider-chest organ with two manuals and a pedalboard with 21 reeds.
