Tips

Sebastian ⚒⛰🏕

In the highest cliff, facing north, lies the Totenstein Cave, where the rare luminous moss once thrived in large quantities. Many legends surround the cave and its luminous moss. They concern the immeasurable treasures of the Sorbs, which were magically transported here centuries ago, probably when Sorbian rule was coming to an end.

But no matter how often curious souls have searched for the treasure since, they have never found anything but luminous moss, which lost its shimmer at the slightest touch and crumbled into dust.

The legendary luminous moss can be seen when the weather is long and damp and there is enough light.

In the small caves at the Totenstein 483 m grows a luminescent moss, which stores the daylight and lights up at night.
