The money cellar is an interesting rock formation

A real insider tip for a nice hike without many people.

story Trying to unravel a mystery. In the spring of 2006 we discovered a large hand-shaped weathering depression in the rocks of Upper Lusatia. We baptized it "God's Hand" Maybe it was just a whim of nature. Nevertheless, measurements carried out in the spring of 2007 yielded a surprising result: if you looked out of the triangular viewing hole of a nearby cave over the "God's Hand" towards the sky, you could see the noon point of the winter solstice directly. ... An accident? Since then we have systematically visited every rock known to us in Upper Lusatia and many more, examined them for characteristics and measured them. We discovered more solar observation phenomena. Individual rock objects with one or more viewing windows are particularly impressive. These viewing windows often mark not only the midday sun of the winter solstice, but also the morning and evening sun of both the winter and summer solstices and the beginning of spring and autumn. Some rocks reflect the observation scheme of the prehistoric "Nebra Sky Disc" discovered in Saxony-Anhalt even reflected 1:1. ... Is it really all just a coincidence???? We don't think so! We are of the opinion that although nature in many cases created the conditions for numerous viewing windows through crevasses and fissures in the rock, their alignment to always the same specific points in the sky is in many cases a deliberate work of man with the intention of using the suns and their movement in the sky to determine the length of the year and to divide it into periods. Undoubtedly traces of this targeted human influence and even stone tools used for this purpose have already been discovered and recorded in expert reports. In 2008, with the support of the star friends of the observatory "Bruno H. Bürgel" e.V. Sohland/Spree, we launched the "Project-Götterhand" to investigate the phenomenon. Source: Hand of the Gods

The Georgewitzer Skala was created over a length of approx. 1.3 km by the erosive action of the Löbau water as a deeply incised, south-north oriented, canyon-like rocky valley (skala = Slavic term for rock). This form of a breakthrough valley is more common in Upper Lusatia, especially in the Upper Lusatia region (cf. Gröditzer scale, Lausk scale). The geological source rock, the West Lusatian granodiorite or the Zweiglimmergranodiorite, was removed by the erosion process over thousands of years. The geological subsoil is mainly covered by nutrient-rich loess loam and river gravel from the Vistula ice age. The valley has steep slopes, rock faces and crevices, the Löbau water has a near-natural stream bed with many blocks. The wooded rocky slopes on both sides of the stream rise from 210 m above sea level. NN in the valley floor up to a height of 240 m above sea level. NN and go with a moderate incline into a plateau. A large number of very different near-natural forest communities, such as pedunculate oak-hornbeam forest rich in linden trees, sessile oak-beech forest rich in hornbeam and hornwort-black alder shoreline characterize the scale. As special features of the avifauna, kingfishers, lesser woodpeckers and gray wagtails can be mentioned. Hollow Corydalis, Black Lungwort, Lily of the Valley and Greater Chickweed occur as protected plant species due to the weakly alkaline-influenced granodiorite weathering soil of the basalt mountains.

there is a bench up there to rest on.

Beautiful view

The festival play "Barbarossa's Awakening" was performed here on June 23, 1872. The plot of the play involves Germany's uprising and unification in 1871.

The Geldkeller is located on the eastern slope directly at the castle rampart - a very striking rock formation. At the north foot there is a small cave, which gave the rock its name. A legend tells that in this cave on St. John's Day (three days after the summer solstice) a wall opens and gold is found in a secret cellar. In fact, on the morning of the summer solstice, the sun shines through a viewing slit into the cave and paints a golden spot of light on the inner wall of the cave entrance. At sunset, on the summer solstice, the sun shines directly through the entrance to the cave, giving the interior a golden glow. Large boulders piled one on top of the other form two viewing windows above the cave entrance. One allows a view of the morning sun of spring and autumn, as well as the morning sun of the winter solstice and opposite the evening sun of the summer solstice. The second viewing window is just to the east of the cave entrance. Here the sun appears at the winter solstice at the moment when it disappears behind the hill fort at Berggrad and at the evening sun in spring and autumn. The Geldkeller is very easy to reach. A road leads to the Löbauer Berg. There is a parking lot between the two hilltops. From here you walk in the direction of the radio tower. Then follow the course of the ramparts until the path leads through the ramparts to a small rock in the east. This rock is the money cellar. The way is also signposted. Source: Hand of the Gods
