Liebethal Hydroelectric Power Plant

The Liebethaler Grund is a narrow and deeply cut valley in which the course of the river Wesenitz is located.The Liebethaler Grund is located near the small town of Liebethal, which belongs to the large district town of Pirna. A wildly romantic hiking trail leads through the valley along the course of the Wesenitz river. In addition, the well-known hiking route "Malerweg" begins in the Liebethaler Grund, which runs from here through the entire Saxon Switzerland. Since May 21, 1933, the largest Richard Wagner monument in the world has been located near the former hydroelectric power station. The bronze statue, over four meters high, depicts Wagner as the guardian of the Grail and was designed by the Dresden painter and sculptor Richard Guhr.Source: discovere-sachsen.de/ziel/liebethaler-grund.html
