ケーニヒスヴァルタのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Built in the 17th century, the church is a listed building of significant architectural and local historical importance. The single-nave church in Königswartha was constructed in the 1690s in the Baroque style on the site of the village cemetery. Previously, a Gothic church stood on the site, which was destroyed by fire, and its parts were used in the construction of the new church. The interior was first renovated in 1868, with further work carried out in 1913 and 1955. The exterior of the church was restored in 1895 and again in 1976.

A large, contiguous pond area consisting of two sub-areas, near-natural eutrophic standing waters with siltation zones and transitions to swamp and riparian forests, wet meadows and pastures.

The forest playground is beautifully designed; you can climb, slide and dig, there's even a forest school with a blackboard.

Only about 20 years ago, some attractions were built on the spoil heap of the kaolin mine. Excavation work is still taking place there today.

The wetland habitat contains many forests and fish ponds. Over decades, the post-mining landscape has been shaped and enhanced. However, unlike during the GDR era, this was not done by reforesting with pure stands of pine, but rather through a variety of attractions.

The amphitheater is also artificially created as an open-air stage; whether performances are ever actually held here is unknown to us.

The Caminau castle ruins, with their three round towers, are an artificial ruin built in the 21st century and opened to the public after 2012. They are the highlight of the Caminau biotope network, which was constructed as part of the remediation and recultivation of the former open-cast mining site of the Caminau calamine works.

Fantastically beautiful.
