This small lookout tower stands on the edge of the lake of friendship. Inside is a nice Schnizerei, which refers to the beaver nature trail. From the upper floor you have a beautiful view of the lake.

Kroppen Castle Park

Highlight • Structure

In 1679, Loss Haubold von Miltitz built the Kroppen castle on Scharfenberg. In 1855 it became the property of Count August von Bohlen, who also had the park created from 1884. In 1914 Baron Albrecht von Cramm acquired the castle. In 1948 it was blown up and demolished at the disposal of the Hoyerswerda district administrator. Only the so-called basement house is left.

Kroppen–Ortrand Cycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Paved cycle path from Kroppener district of Heinersdorf in the direction of the outskirts. The pavement is mostly good to drive, partly with a bit of holes. Ideal for touring cyclists, but racing cyclists prefer to take the roads to Kroppen.

Today we went on a bike tour around the Königsbrücker Heide. Our tour guide was cyclist Hans, who knows the route like the back of his hand. Cycling mainly on forest paths in the autumn sunshine was a pleasure and absolutely relaxing.
