7 stone dwarves in the Dahlener Heide. Seven Dwarfs rest stop bench. Info: Debris from a boulder that was blown up during the straightening of the Dahle stream in 1937. The stone remains of white and red granite were incorporated around the rest stop bench.

According to legend, a boy from Dahlen was captured and put in a sack while trying to warn Emperor Henry of a Sorbian trap. The boy managed to escape by hopping to the emperor in the sack. Today, only the Sackhupper sculpture in Dahlen's market bears witness to the story. https://www.hitradio-rtl.de/nachhoeren/sachsenhits/Dahlen-id682454.html
