What was that once? Not a via ferrata that doesn't lead to anything.
Still nice to look at.

The Ostbruch is the ideal outdoor spot near Leipzig to get into the climbing world. Children and beginners can also climb routes here. More information at: dav-leipzig.de/klettergebiete-und-kletteranlagen/leipziger-kletterschule.html.

View of the Westbruch Lake, Waldsteinberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view of the Westbruch from the highest ridge, which is about 27 meters high. The rock is granite porphyry, which is still quarried today. You can also climb and dive here.

Brandis Forest Bathing Lake

Highlight • Lake

The natural pool is certainly well attended in summer, the spacious area and the many seating options around the lake also make it attractive for hiking.

The Polenzwald

Highlight • Forest

Here you can go on wonderful hikes, in spring the early bloomers are particularly beautiful, but the highlight only comes in May, there are many lilies of the valley here.
And even the rare wood ducks😂🦆
