シュタット・ヴェーレンの湖・トップ20

A very beautiful and fascinating place. The rocks drop sharply into the lake.

Beautiful place on the Wesenitz

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. Source: https://www.duerrroehrsdorf-dittersbach.de/verzeichnis/visitenkarte.php?mandat=165282

Small eye-catcher on the Wesenitztal hiking trail

The buildings are picturesquely integrated into the rock, something that is a feast for the eyes. Stamp point EB.

Nice view of the dam wall 😊

In 1907, there was a minor mishap during a blasting operation. During work in the quarry, a water-bearing layer in the Quellenberg was opened up. Within a short time, the quarry filled up. The abandoned machines still stand on the bottom of the lake today. But that didn't stop the brave guys from back then from continuing to mine sandstone until 1912. The rocks mined here can be seen in many Dresden buildings. Including the "Jesus Christ Church". The nice thing about this little mishap is that we can now look at the beautiful little lake that has formed here.

Very nice and quiet place
