The pit water from the Greifenhain open-cast mine (object no. 32003005) was directed from 1965 via the Altdöbern salt pond into the Neue Vetschauer Mühlenfließ (object no. 32003011). The salt pond served as a settling basin before the pit water was transported via the newly created stream to the Vetschau pit water treatment plant. After decommissioning, renaturation took place, which is why the pond can also be used as a fishing pond today. The water from the Altdöberner See is now directed via the open ditch system of the park where the pond is located. A pipe system took over this task during the operating period of the open-cast mine.

A beautiful highlight when visiting Altdöberner Park is the French Garden. It is a Baroque park and was expanded in 1750 by Carl Heirich von Heineken and redesigned with elaborate water features, pavilions, and sculptures. It invites you to relax or also serves as a popular photo motif, e.g. for weddings. The magnificent Neptune Fountain and many sandstone figures can be seen, two of them also by the important Dresden court sculptor Gottfried Knöffler (1715-1779).
