It's always worth it! But the tower is currently closed due to construction work. It's not open to climb.

Spacious rest area in nature at the lower Pulsnitz lowlands, along the Lemikolen hiking trail.

Several pleasant trails. Lower Pulsnitz Valley Nature Reserve. Information: A mosaic of diverse landscapes: grassland, fallow land, and hedgerows. Nature reserve. The grassland areas are to be developed into species-rich wet meadows and pastures with typical plant communities through extensive management. The hedgerows are preserved and promoted.

The Green Lake in Merzdorf. Information: Due to the growing overburden, clay extraction became increasingly difficult in the late 1950s, so the clay pit was flooded in the late 1960s, and the production of concrete elements began there simultaneously. The remaining body of water has a greenish hue and is therefore also known as the Green Lake. The "Agnes" and "Flora" clay pits were opened south of the village in 1892.

It's funny how people are arguing today especially about the grammatical gender for the place name of the Waldsee, whether it's called the or the old shaft, instead of primarily emphasizing the beauty and relaxation of these remains of the "Helenen's shaft" ( :-). Although August Han actually wanted to find coal in 1855 and then came across clay, clay was finally mined and bricks made from it for more than 100 years.

The historic Strauch degree measurement column was part of the degree measurement and triangulation in the Kingdom of Saxony and thus part of land surveying. The Strauch station from 1866 still functioned as the center of the surveying station until 1959. The Nagelsche pillar is today a technical monument on Heideberg.
