To mark its 20th anniversary in 2013, the Elsterschloss-Gymnasium Support Association commissioned the creation and installation of an art installation on the grounds of the present-day Elsterschloss-Gymnasium. As part of the "Art at the Castle" project, a bronze casting model of Elsterschloss Elsterwerda was created. This model provides information about the former and current uses of the building complex, as well as its historical context throughout its existence, thus further enriching the castle's presence. https://www.elsterschloss.de/kunstobjekt.html

Saxon-Prussian boundary stone No. 180 Of significance in surveying and regional history as a historical document of the border demarcation between Saxony and Prussia after the Congress of Vienna in 1815.

The Prösen lock house is located directly on the Elsterwerda-Grödel log flume, which opened in 1748. An old thatched-roof house once stood here, where the lock keeper lived. His job was to operate the lock, a process that took twelve minutes. To further develop the area for leisure and tourism, a replica of the lock keeper's cottage was built right next to the Elbe-Elster Canal cycle path. An exhibition about the "log flume" technical monument can be seen there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleusenhaus_Pr%C3%B6sen

To provide a historical insight into the canal's past, reconstruction work was carried out at the Prösen lock in 1993, and the wooden lock gates were rebuilt. As with all the other locks, they had been missing for a long time. The lock system is approximately 45 meters long, with a usable length of 36 meters from the narrowed entrances. The gate entrances are 5.60 meters wide, and the chamber width is approximately 11.50 meters. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsterwerda-Gr%C3%B6del-Flo%C3%9Fkanal

A bit narrow in places, but otherwise the cycle path is nice.

The "entrance" to a beautiful, quiet cycle path.

To relax and watch birds.

Nice little rest area right next to the bike path.
