Tips

July 10, 2020

Cycling

Before trains and trucks could transport wood, rivers were used as a means of transport. This raft ditch here is very old and an industrial monument. Construction timber and firewood could be rafted to Leipzig and Halle via the raft ditch. If you want to know more, you can ask the residents in the raft house or look here: elsterflossgraben.com/aktuelles. However, the weir is an insurmountable obstacle for migratory fish.

You can hear the noise from afar. Something is hidden. Just follow the sounds.
