クロストヴィッツのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

In near-total silence, we stroll across the grounds, savoring the moment. The church shines in all its glory, bathed in the rays of the autumn sun. We enter the church; a service is in progress, and it's noticeable that Sorbian is still actively spoken here. We don't want to disturb them any further. We continue our walk through the grounds, reach the monastery café, and take a seat. After a while, we head back outside and are surprised by a flood warning sign. A few meters away, the Klosterwasser stream babbles along, almost like a brook, several meters below. We return to the church. Now, after the service, let's take another look inside. It's built in the Late Gothic style. The interior is beautiful, too, with a view of the altar and the interplay of red and white tones. The gallery is lined with statues. With these impressions, we leave the grounds. https://youtu.be/X0epJTurlSE

small rest area with beautiful view

Very nice park next to the monastery

Beautiful castle including chapel and castle garden. Worth stopping and watching at least once.

Central fountain in the monastery courtyard, designing the square, nice refreshment.

East of Kamenz lies the small village of Räckelwitz with its castle. Räckelwitz Castle - presumably built around 1750 - with its luminous Maltese cross above the entrance portal is a reminder of the more recent history of use. The castle chapel, which was built in 1885 in the Beuron style, is exceptional. The narrow building with a semi-circular chancel has arched windows. The neo-Romanesque church building wanted to represent a God's castle on the outside. more at: https://www.landurlaub-sachsen.de/kapelle-im-beuroner-stil-raeckelwitz.html

For me, this was the first point of the hike to take a closer look at the Ruddorf of the Sorbs in Schweinerden, including the mill (unfortunately no longer in operation.

If you want to get here, you have to follow the path to the right of the main path over a wooden bridge and then further to the right.
