ヴァイスカイセルの湖・トップ20

Observation tower on Lake Africa with a completely stunning view of not only the lake but also the entire area - green and blue (especially in summer) - a total blast!

Beautiful stretch of sandy beach on Lake Bärwalder.

For anyone who likes to be in nature, whether by bike or on foot, this is exactly the right area and the view from the tower is simply great. The tower seems to be open all year round and doesn't cost a cent.

These lakes are post-mining landscape. So not a naturally created landscape, but only created by human activity. The mining of the lignite seams left depressions that filled with water over time after the open-cast mines were abandoned and now form a small lake district in the Moscow fold.

The 29m high observation tower made of larch wood has been one of the highlights on the Babina circular trail since 2014. From two platforms at 14m and 24m, the upper one can be reached via 120 steps, you have a great view over the landscape and the largest lake in the former mining area - the residual mining water "Afrika" or "Afryka" (Scale C). The 190m long and 27m deep lake is so called because it has the shape of the continent when viewed from above. There are several parking options near the lookout tower.

There are 120 steps up the tower and you can see over Africa. The 190 meter long and 27 meter deep lake is so named because it has the exact shape of the continent when viewed from above. You can't swim in Africa, the water is too acidic for that. The power plants in Boxberg and Schwarze Pumpe provide orientation for a long-distance view. If the weather is really good, you can see the Landeskrone Görlitz and the Jizera Mountains. Boards and information can be found on the circular route around Africa. Breaks are possible at small huts and benches.

The Rakotz Bridge, also known colloquially as the Devil's Bridge, seems like a gateway to another world.

Wonderful view to linger. Not too overrun and the cleanest Dixi toilets I've ever seen are here too.
