オルバースドルフ湖のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Flooded open-cast lignite mine. Today a recreational area at the foot of the Zittau Mountains.

The former open-cast lignite mine has been transformed into an impressive opportunity for both those seeking peace and quiet and (on special dates) active sports enthusiasts.

The Töpfer (582 m) is an extensive sandstone mountain with a flat, wooded summit located on the northern edge of the Zittau Mountains about 1.5 km northeast of Oybin and 1.5 km south of the upper part of Olbersdorf.

With the words, "If we want to know what God is like, we must look at how Jesus of Nazareth lived and died. In Jesus, God lives a life under human conditions. It is precisely through an existence like that of the crucified Jesus that God demonstrates what God is capable of. This paradox is the great thing about the Christian faith. God is, figuratively speaking, at the very top and at the very bottom," theology professor Michael Seewald describes a core idea of Christianity.

Unfortunately, there's not much left of the view. Everything is slowly becoming overgrown, and no one is taking responsibility or maintaining this spot.

A beautiful local recreation area has been created here from an old lignite open-cast mine.
