The Red Bank offers a great view of the Mulde river.

With a bit of luck, you might see the kingfisher here.

There is much to discover

The "Red Bank" in Bad Düben is a steep, reddish slope on the Mulde River, created by dumping iron oxide-containing waste from the former alum works. This alum works, in operation from 1557 to 1886, was once one of the most important of its kind and exported alum to many European countries. Alum, a metal sulfate salt, was used for various purposes, including tanning and textile finishing. The alum mining dumps, created during the roasting process of alum earth, were dumped and form today's Red Bank. The Red Bank is now a popular tourist destination with views of the Mulde floodplain and serves as a testament to historical alum production.

An old medieval weir, extensively renovated in 1999 and restored to its current form. The so-called Bobritz Dam supplies water to the mill race, which was used to feed the mills at the time, and also drains floodwater into the Mulde River. It's a very idyllic spot. From here, however, you can't go any further; you have to walk north again. It's definitely worth the detour!

It's worth it.
