In the past, many people would swim here, but now it is privately owned and all bathing facilities have been blocked off. Locals also call it the water quarry because there is another one nearby. If you like quarries, there are the Hohburg Mountains nearby, where there are even more and larger quarries.

"A piece of history along the S-Weg: The former border between Prussia and Saxony" After the Congress of Vienna in 1815 regulated the reorganization of Europe after the defeat of Napoleon and his allies in the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig, the Kingdom of Saxony had to cede parts of its territory to Prussia. The new border line ran along the S-Weg and across the Dahlen Heath. In the forests south of Schildau you can still find the old border stones that mark the former border in several places. These stones are engraved with "KP" and "KS", which stand for Kingdom of Prussia and Kingdom of Saxony and are reminiscent of the border established in the Congress of Vienna. Interestingly, this border was not revised until 1990, when the East German states were re-established in the final phase of the GDR. Citizen surveys showed that the majority of the northern Saxon areas should be annexed to Saxony again. Tip: the Napoleon Stone is located nearby. According to legend, Napoleon camped there during his retreat on the eve of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig.
