In near-total silence, we stroll across the grounds, savoring the moment. The church shines in all its glory, bathed in the rays of the autumn sun. We enter the church; a service is in progress, and it's noticeable that Sorbian is still actively spoken here. We don't want to disturb them any further. We continue our walk through the grounds, reach the monastery café, and take a seat. After a while, we head back outside and are surprised by a flood warning sign. A few meters away, the Klosterwasser stream babbles along, almost like a brook, several meters below. We return to the church. Now, after the service, let's take another look inside. It's built in the Late Gothic style. The interior is beautiful, too, with a view of the altar and the interplay of red and white tones. The gallery is lined with statues. With these impressions, we leave the grounds. https://youtu.be/X0epJTurlSE

800 years of Kamenz, a beautiful city festival.

To the west of the city, the Hutberg rises about 100 meters above the old town, 294 meters above sea level. The name of the mountain is not derived from the hat, but from the herding of sheep. It was intended to protect the trade route, the so-called "Via Regia," which runs across Europe from Ukraine to Spain. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/natur/hutberg#denkmale

The Bismarck Stone was erected on April 1, 1895, the 80th birthday of the former Chancellor and Foreign Minister. Bismarck played a key role in the unification of the German Empire and was more or less well-respected by the population. When he was dismissed by German Emperor Wilhelm II in 1890, the German population was upset. On April 1, 1895, over 100 cities declared Bismarck an honorary citizen and erected a monument. This was also the case in Kamenz. Unfortunately, the bronze medallion attached to the monument was destroyed within the first month. It is suspected that Bismarck's political opponents, probably Social Democrats, were responsible. Sources: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/natur/hutberg#denkmale

The 40-meter-high tower is visible from afar and dominates the city's skyline. Yet one thing is clear: the secular building is not intended to overshadow the sacred main church. Amidst the red of the town hall, the golden clock immediately catches the eye. Likewise, the decorative coat of arms of the city of Kamenz, in the form of a relief coat of arms beneath the clock. Directly above the entrance is a counter commemorating the city's 800th anniversary. Starting at 800 on August 22, 2022, it counted backward 800 days to the beginning of the anniversary year on January 1, 2025, and has been counting upwards ever since. Kamenz's town hall is generally considered one of the most beautiful buildings from the first half of the 19th century. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/auchsehenswert/marktplatz

The distance column from the former Königsbrück Gate, dating from 1725, found a new location at Bönischplatz after several renovations and was last restored in 2008. It was destroyed in a traffic accident at the local roundabout on 30 September 2009 and re-erected on 6 May 2010.

I highly recommend this campsite. The staff is extremely friendly and dedicated, and spending the night in a camping barrel is truly enjoyable. It's amazing how much can fit into such a small space.

There is no wrong time to visit this fantastically diverse park and it's not just the rhododendrons that are a highlight 💚 be sure to look more than three times!!!
