After the forest fire, only burnt wood remains. There won't be any shade for a while.

A new attraction is being created here to further enhance the entire area around Lake Kiebitzer. 👍 The circular trail is easy to walk and cycle around. There are several rest stops. Overall, a highly recommended trail. 👍

The railway museum at Falkenberg/Elster station takes visitors back in history. Exhibits include model railways, signal boxes, Reichsbahn uniforms, many pictures, old carriages and a collection of historic telephones. Anyone who wants to can get a ticket from Calau to Leipzig worth 5 marks from the old ticket printer.

I did see the classic locomotive, but unfortunately there wasn't much more there. It was pretty lonely there. I would only recommend a visit when the actual museum is open.

Unfortunately, you can't walk all the way around it, as there is no way to go any further on the other side of the lake (from Frankenberg/Elster). But you can still see a lot of the beautiful lake.
