Here stands a sandstone statue by the artist Hans Kies (1977). The statue is titled "The Mission" and is a relic from GDR times. Originally, the structure was located at the entrance of the clubhouse of the Theodor-Neubauer-Kaserne in Ernst-Thälmann-Straße in Eisenach (Border Troops). How it now ended up in Sohland is not known.

Two or three marble benches for a short break. Idyllic setting with grassy ground by the Spree. The weir allowed water to flow to the mill located downstream.

Not far away, in Ebersbach, the Spree originates. Here, the river is still pristine and is partially dammed.
