The Königshain Hills (Upper Sorbian: Limas) are located in the eastern part of Upper Lusatia, west of the city of Görlitz in the Görlitz district. They lie north and south of the municipality of Königshain, from which they take their name, and comprise an extensive, approximately 50 km² area of mostly forested granite. The main elevations are the Kämpferberge (415 m above sea level) in the south, culminating at the Ahlberg, the well-known Hochstein (397.2 m above sea level) in the north, and the Hutberg in the (south)west. ``` View of the Königshain Hills Quarry lake in the Königshain Hills In the natural regional classification of Saxony, they are assigned to the macrogeochore Eastern Upper Lusatia (11), the mesogeochore Königshain Hills and Mountains (11013), and the two microgeochore Kämpferberg Ridge (including Hochstein) and Eichberg-Hutberg Ridge.[1] The entire Königshain Hills have been a protected landscape area since 1974. A bird sanctuary is located in part (Elysium) of the former Firsten quarry. https://de.wikipedia.org

Great water!!

Beautiful pond landscape. Sea eagles can be observed here. The bike path, however, isn't great...

Super beautiful quarry, which reminds us of the mining through historical equipment and buildings that are now dilapidated.

A few bathers were in the water.

The Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape was recognized as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in 1996. Together with the northern part in Lower Lusatia, this cultural landscape forms the largest contiguous pond landscape in Central Europe.

A wonderful pond landscape, in which one is right in the middle. Okay, mosquitoes are plentiful. Autan is a great help there.
