The Badeweg is a short (but steep) connection between Rollsdorf and Höhnstedt. Beautiful scenery in every season.

Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

The vineyard paradise lies in "Egypt." There, in addition to magnificent views, there are also beautiful vineyard gardens. Why this parcel of land was named after this distant land and is even spelled with an "E" is anyone's guess. Perhaps because in the Middle Ages, traveling people, the "Sons of Egypt," stayed in the protected wine-growing valleys. Or perhaps also because the Mansfeld region is known for its mining waste dumps, which sit like pointed caps on the mountains. These dumps are shaped like pyramids.
