This lake was flooded in the 1970s. It's a "miracle" how nature has evolved during this time. It gives us a glimpse of what the Lusatian lake landscape might one day look like.

The tower is not to be missed!

In 1754, local judge Lehmann pushed through the construction of a church building "against the grumbling of a few stubborn people." The old wooden chapel in the plague cemetery outside the village (to the right of the former town hall) was in such a deplorable condition that "dogs and swine could pass under the threshold." We do not know the builder. It is highly likely that local craftsmen erected the church. Before this construction project began, there were apparently many disagreements among the residents at the time, so that even the building materials that had already been brought in were quickly sold. The church itself is a simple half-timbered structure with sparing Baroque elements. It is said to have seated 250 people. This number may have corresponded to the population of the village at the time. The communion vessels, chalice, two jugs, and two plates, as well as the candlesticks and baptismal font, all made of Zins, are still in use today. The interior of the chapel is quite simple. To save space, the pulpit was placed directly above the altar. There's nothing pompous about it, and that's precisely what makes it so beautiful. It's also noteworthy that only the morning and sunny sides have windows, while the other two sides of the nave remain windowless. In 1921, the church in Zschornegosda was thoroughly renovated. It also received a new roof, pews were repaired, and the church was modernized by replacing the old, inadequate lighting with electric light. At the same time, a large painted plaque of honor, listing the names and dates of the 74 Zschornegosda soldiers who died in World War I, was hung. A special purchase was a large pedal harmonium, as an organ was too expensive. The Luther Memorial in Zschornegosda was dedicated on December 3, 1933 (the first Sunday of Advent). Afterward, Luther's name was transferred to the village church. The boulder from an open-cast mine is approximately 1.20 m high and 1.35 m wide. The applied bronze plates are from the Lauchhammer art foundry. The upper circular one bears a relief of Martin Luther's head. The lower rectangular one bears the inscription: "In memory of Martin Luther * 1483 - 1546." The occasion was the 450th anniversary of Martin Luther's birth. Source: Schwarzheide Local Chronicle

How can one imagine this, something like: "Hello, locker attendant...!" 🗣️📣 ... 😉

The Plessa Power Plant, with its two chimneys, is the only remaining witness to coal production and processing in the Plessa region. Unlike other factories and power plants, the Plessa Power Plant was able to escape demolition. The colossal industrial facilities were preserved in their original form – as they first went into operation in 1927. Today, the power plant is an industrial monument and museum. It was designated a historic monument in 1985. The building, with its harmonious appearance due to its strict symmetry, is considered the oldest lignite-fired power plant in Europe. Visitors can experience traces of the past in all their authenticity and grandeur. Source: https://www.plessa.de/verzeichnis/objekt.php?mandat=93496

@Katrin: Oh, what a shame... :( What happened there, does anyone happen to know...???

Directly on the beach of the Grünewalder Lauch camping park you will find this magnificent panorama of the approximately 100 hectare lake in Brandenburg near Grünewalde on the eastern edge of the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park.

It's a very beautiful circular route with some fantastic views of the lake. A great way to engage even those less keen on cycling (I speak from experience). It's also suitable for children, as there are plenty of playgrounds and rest areas. Plus, the trail is completely flat.
