Cycling

At the end of the 15th century, the brothers Ernst and Albrecht von Sachsen had an artificial pond built near Torgau by decree from the Electorate of Saxony. It should be used for fish farming and thus supply the farm. During the fortress period, the Great Pond also served as a water reservoir for filling the moats. Today it is a dam and flood protection system and at the same time an important nature reserve and local recreation area. The Great Pond is still used for fish farming.

Hiking

The large pond is an artificial lake that was dammed up here. The water level is above that of the Elbe. You can only reach the shore in a few places. Here, however, you have a very beautiful view of the water and can linger well on the benches.
