ナイセミュンデの天然記念物・トップ20

If you let your gaze wander, raise your head, and lose track of time, you will find at the Krayner Ponds what you long to seek in big cities: a piece of tranquility. Here, where the water spreads beneath the sky like an open book, your thoughts begin to wander – just like your feet following this path. The ponds themselves lie silently, framed by forests that stand on the banks like ancient sentinels. Sometimes, light aisles open up, through which the light dances, sometimes the forest embraces you with its green shadows. The rustling of the wind in the trees, the gentle gurgling of the water, the distant chirping of a jay – all this becomes the soundtrack of this hike. Those who hike here quickly notice: the pace slows down, the view becomes more precise. Every step on the soft forest floor becomes a promise, every view of the lakeshore a small revelation. Especially at the junction of the ponds – where the water surface tapers and the reeds line the path like a natural curtain on both sides – you almost feel like you're stepping into a painting. And then there's that moment when, between two branches, the view opens onto the water, calm, dark, mysterious. A stage for reflections, for plays of light, for thoughts that go deeper than usual.

Good place to spend the night. The story of how the stone got its name is also very interesting: "According to legend, a farmer was determined to remove this gigantic stone from his field. No amount of effort and toil helped. He then made a pact with the devil and sold him his soul. The devil then took the stone and threw it with full force over the Klautzkesee, where it has remained to this day. The devil's horse paw and human claw can still be seen in the stone today."

Great facility with a playground, natural marble run and charging station for e-bikes and cell phones. Very well maintained and you meet nice people there too.

Beautiful forest lake just before Kieselwitz.

Space with several tables and benches around the Teufelsstein. There is a guest book hidden under one of the tables.

The boulder can be viewed with lots of information. https://kobbeln.de/

The largest and best-known boulder is the "Kobbelner Stein". In 1925 the 7.1 m long, 5.2 m wide and 4.5 m high "Colossus" was excavated. It has a circumference of approx. 25 m and weighs around 256 t. Elemental forces transported the granite stone from the Danish island of Bornholm to Kobbeln.

Impressively large stone!!! And a great rest stop.
