グロースハルタウのおすすめランニングルート

The Buschmühle, situated between Schmiedefeld and Rennersdorf on the left bank of the Wesenitz River, was once a gem of scenic beauty. Its idyllic location made it a popular destination, especially during the summer months. Weekends saw a steady stream of visitors, and individual hikers and groups alike flocked to the romantic Buschmühle from afar. The Buschmühle is the oldest of all the mills in this part of the Wesenitz Valley. Today, it serves as a private residence, and a holiday home is available for rent across the street. We even spotted a good old Ural truck, formerly belonging to the National People's Army, under a carport. It was very well-maintained and preserved, but with a fuel consumption of 100 liters per 100 kilometers, it was surely no longer in use.

Along the way, from some points you could see the ensemble of Stolpen Castle on the hill, a nice landmark for the whole route.

Always nice to find these forest gnomes.

Großharthau Castle originated from a former medieval moated castle. A manor house was documented in 1241, a knight's court in 1350, and a manor in 1566. In the first half of the 18th century, the castle and manor were rebuilt, incorporating the structural fabric of the former moated castle. The new Baroque complex saw several changes of ownership, with the von Flemming, Vitzthum von Eckstädt, and von Einsiedel families, among others, claiming the castle as their own. In 1945, the castle was looted. In early 1946, a fire broke out in the castle, which was subsequently used to salvage building materials. The last remnants were finally demolished in 1948. The manor buildings and the gatehouse serve as residential areas; this area is accessible to a limited extent. The castle island is accessible via the public manor park. https://sachsens-schloesser.de/grossharthau-wasserburg-schloss-grossharthau/

In the heart of Großharthau, surrounded by the charming historic town center, visitors will find the listed castle park with its idyllic gondola pond. The park's history is deeply rooted in 18th-century Saxon court culture. At the behest of Countess von Fleming, a magnificent park was created, enriched by sculptures, fountains, and orangeries. The Großharthau Castle Park is open to the public free of charge and invites you to linger and explore. https://grossharthau.de/schlosspark2/
