ヘルンフートの天然記念物・トップ20

The White Stone marks a regional geological feature. Here, a rock formation consisting of a quartz vein emerges, striking for its atypical white color. This formation is also known as the Karasek Cave, named after the robber captain Johannes Karasek. This is said to have been the meeting place of the gang before and after several raids. While the robber captain actually existed, legend has it that his treasure, which has not yet been found, is hidden at this location. The story of the robber captain and information on the geology can be found in the Karasek Museum in Seifhennersdorf. Coming from Großschönau, it's worth taking a detour about 300 meters from the road and then continuing on to the Karasek Museum.

Two rocks, the Goethekopf and the large stone, are enthroned on the small mountain

The White Stone is a rock formation up to six meters high in the Hofebusch forest near Spitzkunnersdorf in Upper Lusatia. Erosion also created the so-called Karasek Cave in this rock.

Very nice panoramic view of the surroundings.

The so-called "Abandoned Cross" is enthroned on top of the rocky outcrop, in the rock a little below it a holy figure was also placed in a small grotto/niche formed by a rocky outcrop. This is probably a statue of the Mother of God.

Observe the growth of the newly planted small-leaved lime
