A circuit around the Gremminer See is recommended. In addition to the view of the "Iron City" Ferropolis, there are many very interesting iron sculptures with imagined names to admire along the beautiful, asphalted path. Immediately behind the bridge over the B100/B107 to the town of Gräfenhainichen, you can also stop for an excellent meal at the Greek restaurant "Athos". (https://athos-der-grieche.de)

The Reinharz water castle, nestled amidst forests, resembles a fabulous fairytale castle. The castle park with its surrounding water areas invites you to linger with its rare tree population. Heinrich von Löser, the hereditary marshal of Saxony, had a representative water castle with a baroque park, a castle pond, and a brewery pond built between 1690 and 1701 to appropriately accommodate the nobles during hunts in the Dübener Heide.

The fountain on the market square in Gräfenhainichen is the "Springbrunnen der Elemente". The figures of the water feature represent the elemental forces of fire, water, and wind.
