One. beautiful pond here in Neudau. Next to the Fuchschweifteich (the eastern one) you will also find the large Neudauer Teich to the west. Both can be circled with wooded areas. In between, on the dam, you will also find some huge, protected oak trees.

Here, you walk along the banks of the Fuschsschweifteich lake. At the edge of the lake, you'll also find several huge, listed oak trees.

A little disturbing, yet creative. A sculpture of a headless angel in a front yard.

A chapel at the intersection before the border bridge in Neudau. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything about it online. Does anyone know more?

No, this isn't a surreptitious advertisement. Rather, it's a historic factory building, the kind you'd only see in movies. Complete with a "bell" for the start of the shift.

Beautiful ponds. An easy circular trail. However, it's not wheelchair accessible. Accessible with strollers, but not with wheelchairs. Free parking is available.
