The Black Elster Cycle Path is a 190-kilometer-long long-distance cycle route in southern Brandenburg and northern Saxony, with short sections also extending into eastern Saxony-Anhalt. The cycle path runs from the source of the Black Elster River at 317 meters above sea level to its confluence with the Elbe River at 69 meters above sea level, through the foothills of the Lusatian Mountains near Kamenz and later largely directly along the Black Elster's dike. It is marked with a magpie symbol.

To mark its 20th anniversary in 2013, the Elsterschloss-Gymnasium Support Association commissioned the creation and installation of an art installation on the grounds of the present-day Elsterschloss-Gymnasium. As part of the "Art at the Castle" project, a bronze casting model of Elsterschloss Elsterwerda was created. This model provides information about the former and current uses of the building complex, as well as its historical context throughout its existence, thus further enriching the castle's presence. https://www.elsterschloss.de/kunstobjekt.html

The Prösen lock house is located directly on the Elsterwerda-Grödel log flume, which opened in 1748. An old thatched-roof house once stood here, where the lock keeper lived. His job was to operate the lock, a process that took twelve minutes. To further develop the area for leisure and tourism, a replica of the lock keeper's cottage was built right next to the Elbe-Elster Canal cycle path. An exhibition about the "log flume" technical monument can be seen there. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleusenhaus_Pr%C3%B6sen

To provide a historical insight into the canal's past, reconstruction work was carried out at the Prösen lock in 1993, and the wooden lock gates were rebuilt. As with all the other locks, they had been missing for a long time. The lock system is approximately 45 meters long, with a usable length of 36 meters from the narrowed entrances. The gate entrances are 5.60 meters wide, and the chamber width is approximately 11.50 meters. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsterwerda-Gr%C3%B6del-Flo%C3%9Fkanal

Ice cream is very very tasty

The lovingly maintained grounds of the Saathainer Rose Garden make the tour a special experience.

The obelisk of the pleasure camp in Zeithain is the last (of three) surviving witness to a military camp that was extremely unusual for the time. Excerpt from Wikipedia: The "Zeithain Pleasure Camp" was an organizational and logistical masterpiece that caused a sensation throughout Europe. It was not only the largest military parade in Europe, but above all it was considered the most gigantic Baroque festival of its time, the "spectacle of the century," which, due to its splendor and opulence, remains the epitome of Baroque lifestyle to this day. Ottoman state tents were also used, two of which can be viewed today in the Turkish Chamber of the Dresden Royal Palace. Baroque sandstone obelisks also marked the camp from afar, of which four obelisks (three between Glaubitz, Streumen and Marksiedlitz and one obelisk in the Zeithain district, about 2 km north of the old town center) are still preserved and have since been renovated.
