Small fortified church in the beautiful old town of Höfgen.

According to the information panel: "On the large hill now occupied by houses, a settlement whose name is no longer known stood until the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The plague devastated the village. Presumably, the remains of the foundation walls are those of a small church, whose floor plan suggests a larger building for a settlement of that time. Today, this former forest chapel is used for quiet contemplation in nature, for small devotional services, and frequently for the Ascension Day service of the parishes of Leipnitz, Dürrweitzschen, Sitten, Polditz, Bockelwitz, and Zschoppach..."

Large covered rest area with a history.

According to the information panel: "Scientists suspect that the holed stone once encircled a tree, and that after the tree died, the hole remained in its current form. The stone was moved here during the Ice Age. Another story was told by the old 'log cutters' (as the forest workers were formerly called here): 'Napoleon had a new cannon tested on this stone, and a cannonball left this hole. True or not...'"

According to the information panel on site: "This stone was uncovered in 1987 during road construction work on the second clearing. The stone shows signs of human workmanship from the pre-settlement period. With the help of a small specialized forestry tractor equipped with a dozer blade and winch, the stone was recovered and placed here, selected by head forester G. Heinrich, local historian Mr. Kirsten, and Mr. Unteidig from the lower monument preservation authority. In 1994, on the occasion of the founding of the municipality of Thümmlitzwalde, local historian Walter Naumann was honored with a commemorative plaque for his many years of work researching local history."

According to the information panel on site: "Partially completed millstone belonging to the stonemason Haferkorn, who produced millstones in the local quarries until 1809. He lived in Böhlen and rented a room in Zollschwitz where he produced counterfeit money. His accomplice, Mrs. Kretzschmar, distributed the counterfeit money. The police were alerted to his shady dealings by the miller from Böhlen. On December 5th, Haferkorn was forced to stand bound at the pillory in Böhlen. He was sentenced to 10 years in the Waldheim penitentiary."

According to the information panel on site: "This stone pillar, erected on small hills at the beginning of the settlement period, served, according to local lore, as a waymarker and for orientation between settlements, with a view of up to 30 km. The elevation here is approximately 210 meters above sea level."
