A relaxed round with the opportunity to rest.

800 years of Kamenz, a beautiful city festival.

The 32-meter-high Red Tower, a former defense and watchtower, is a remnant of the Pulsnitz city gate and has 117 steps. As the name suggests, this street leads to the town of Pulsnitz, 12 km away. City gates were particularly vulnerable in times of war. Therefore, the defenders attempted to protect them with additional walls and towers. In an emergency, many archers could take up positions on it. The tower also served as a municipal prison for the higher ranks. The city bailiffs imprisoned criminals from the lower classes in the town hall prison. The key to the Red Tower is available at the Kamenz Information Center (please note opening hours): Admission: €1 per person Concessions: €0.50 Source: https://www.kamenz.de/aussichts-tuerme.html

The four-aisled St. Mary's Church is one of the most important late Gothic hall churches in Saxony. Construction began around 1400 and was completed around 1480. It boasts rich furnishings of high artistic quality, including the St. Mary's Altar (1519), St. Michael's Altar (1498), and the pulpit (1564) by the Kamenz painter Andreas Dreßler.

To the west of the city, the Hutberg rises about 100 meters above the old town, 294 meters above sea level. The name of the mountain is not derived from the hat, but from the herding of sheep. It was intended to protect the trade route, the so-called "Via Regia," which runs across Europe from Ukraine to Spain. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/natur/hutberg#denkmale

The 40-meter-high tower is visible from afar and dominates the city's skyline. Yet one thing is clear: the secular building is not intended to overshadow the sacred main church. Amidst the red of the town hall, the golden clock immediately catches the eye. Likewise, the decorative coat of arms of the city of Kamenz, in the form of a relief coat of arms beneath the clock. Directly above the entrance is a counter commemorating the city's 800th anniversary. Starting at 800 on August 22, 2022, it counted backward 800 days to the beginning of the anniversary year on January 1, 2025, and has been counting upwards ever since. Kamenz's town hall is generally considered one of the most beautiful buildings from the first half of the 19th century. Source: https://kamenz-entdecken.de/entdecken/auchsehenswert/marktplatz

The distance column from the former Königsbrück Gate, dating from 1725, found a new location at Bönischplatz after several renovations and was last restored in 2008. It was destroyed in a traffic accident at the local roundabout on 30 September 2009 and re-erected on 6 May 2010.
