Top 20 Natural Monuments around Kubschütz

The UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Upper Lusatian Heath and Pond Landscape is located in eastern Saxony. The 300-square-kilometer area is the largest contiguous pond area in Germany. Ponds, moors, heaths, and dunes provide a protected habitat for endangered animal and plant species. At the House of a Thousand Ponds in Malschwitz, you can learn fascinating facts about the region and its unique natural environment.

The location is slightly out of the way and therefore wonderfully quiet. Perfect for observing animals over water and meadows.

Always worth a visit. Relax and enjoy nature!!

From the tower you can look very well over the Brösaer Teich and watch the animals

story Trying to unravel a mystery. In the spring of 2006 we discovered a large hand-shaped weathering depression in the rocks of Upper Lusatia. We baptized it "God's Hand" Maybe it was just a whim of nature. Nevertheless, measurements carried out in the spring of 2007 yielded a surprising result: if you looked out of the triangular viewing hole of a nearby cave over the "God's Hand" towards the sky, you could see the noon point of the winter solstice directly. ... An accident? Since then we have systematically visited every rock known to us in Upper Lusatia and many more, examined them for characteristics and measured them. We discovered more solar observation phenomena. Individual rock objects with one or more viewing windows are particularly impressive. These viewing windows often mark not only the midday sun of the winter solstice, but also the morning and evening sun of both the winter and summer solstices and the beginning of spring and autumn. Some rocks reflect the observation scheme of the prehistoric "Nebra Sky Disc" discovered in Saxony-Anhalt even reflected 1:1. ... Is it really all just a coincidence???? We don't think so! We are of the opinion that although nature in many cases created the conditions for numerous viewing windows through crevasses and fissures in the rock, their alignment to always the same specific points in the sky is in many cases a deliberate work of man with the intention of using the suns and their movement in the sky to determine the length of the year and to divide it into periods. Undoubtedly traces of this targeted human influence and even stone tools used for this purpose have already been discovered and recorded in expert reports. In 2008, with the support of the star friends of the observatory "Bruno H. Bürgel" e.V. Sohland/Spree, we launched the "Project-Götterhand" to investigate the phenomenon. Source: Hand of the Gods

Not being able to sit is intentional. Children could climb and fall. Always look from this point of view. It's a protection. That's why the railing is so high.
