The Hare Monument in Schmannewitz is a well-known memorial stone, originally erected as "Brehm's Rest" for the zoologist Dr. Alfred Brehm. It now once again features a hare figure on its top, which was revealed after forestry work. It is located in the woods north of Schmannewitz and was erected by the local beautification society.

Calling it a zoo is a bit of an exaggeration, as there was only a goat enclosure and the budgies. There is also a covered rest area in the park. But be warned, it can smell.

In the past, many people would swim here, but now it is privately owned and all bathing facilities have been blocked off. Locals also call it the water quarry because there is another one nearby. If you like quarries, there are the Hohburg Mountains nearby, where there are even more and larger quarries.

The Kobershain post mill has been lovingly restored, but is on private property and cannot be visited. You cannot see it on Mill Day either. More information at https://www.bockwindmuehle-kobershain.de/

Large parking lot with seating in the middle of the forest. Starting point for many hikes in the Dahlener Heide. If you are looking for an idea, take a look at my profile "19km hike to the Hotel & Restaurant Pelzer and back".

At this point you are in the center of the Dahlener Heide and six different paths converge here. It used to be an important meeting point for hunters and lumberjacks - and because a huge oak tree once stood here, people always met "at the hunters' oak."
