Elster and Pleiße Floodplain Forest

Highlight • Forest

Wild garlic everywhere, beautiful green paths, paddlers in the canal next to it: why go far away when the good things are so close. Holiday feeling in Saxony.

Still Water on the White Elster

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

On Elsterradweg, parallel to the White Elster at the height of Großzschocher is the still water. Very nice to look at and quiet. Old trees, diverse flora and wild bird species, such as the gray animal can be found here.
