The Kraft opencast mining pit is a quiet, natural lake or place that is managed by the fishing association. On the banks of the lake you can admire small remnants of the brown coal seam that was mined there decades ago.

The Malberg is the site of a former Slavic fortification and probably served as a refuge and had a diameter of about 40 meters. It is a protected archaeological monument. A plaque provides information about the protective castle and a small hut offers the opportunity to rest.

A beautiful place! Mill located in the green Schnauderaue with a family-run café in the garden at weekends or inside the building with a well-preserved mill guest room. Outside a pretty old dancing linden tree and occasional live music.
