Like the Plothen ponds, the Wolche pond area was created by monks in the Middle Ages. The original 250 ponds were merged into larger pond systems in the 1980s. The area takes its name from an estate that is said to have been here before the Thirty Years' War. The ruthless administrator at the time was cursed by a begging woman and has had to wander around with his head under his arm ever since.

The Auma is a 34.2 km long tributary of the Weida in the district of Greiz in Thuringia. It rises in a wetland used by numerous ponds south-east of Linda near Neustadt an der Orla and initially flows in a north-easterly direction through Köthnitz. It is crossed in this area by the federal highway 9. Other places are Reinsdorf, Sorna, Krölpa, Muntscha, Auma, Wiebelsdorf, Wöhlsdorf, Forstwolfersdorf, Rohna, Schömberg, where it feeds the Auma dam, and Liebsdorf. In the town of Weida it flows into the river of the same name, Weida. Between Sorna and Auma, the Auma valley was used by the Triptis–Marxgrün railway line. At Reinsdorf, the Auma drains a wetland that represents the northern continuation of the Plothen ponds.
