Information:
The three coniferous trees at the east end of the sundial indicate the proximity of the forest, which is said to have once extended right up to the property. The south end is named after Karasek, the legendary robber baron of Upper Lusatia, who was both feared and admired.
This detached, fully renovated half-timbered house is nestled in rolling hills, surrounded by meadows and fields.
