Tips
To the left of the river is the path now called "Am Bruch," which until 1912 also served as a service road for a sandstone quarry located roughly in the middle of the river. This sandstone quarry had to significantly reduce its production in 1907 because part of it had become a large pond after a blasting operation caused water to seep in. One of the buildings supplied by this quarry was a large Dresden church.

Idyllic lake that invites you to take a break. The children can feed ducks.

Fantastic optical illusion - when the rocks are illuminated in the afternoon - you can hardly grasp what is real and what is a reflection.
