ev. luth. St. Trinitatis - Church in Plothen; New building from 1866-67 in the neo-Romanesque style with design borrowings (round apse) from Byzantine basilicas; the Dreba - Plothener pond area with its countless sky ponds - also known as the "land of a thousand ponds" - was originally settled and created by monks from Saalfeld; the current church was built in place of a very simple chapel that has existed since that time (probably 13th century);

Road cycling

From Knau to Pothen, the only way is via a detour. The direct route (up Knau Hill, at the very end on the left) is impassable after 2.5 km. As of June 18, 2025.
Instead, you turn right and have to walk about 3 km through the forest – beautiful in itself, but with a racing bike, it's a bit of a worry.
