Ponitz Renaissance Castle

Highlight • Castle

Ponitz Castle was built around 1254 for the Lords of Ponitz. The castle was demolished in 1568-1575 and rebuilt as a Renaissance castle. After 1990 the castle was renovated. In 1568 the Abraham von Thumbsbirn family bought the castle for 30,000 Rhenish guilders from Heinrich von Ende. The later lord of the castle Wolfgang Conrad von Thumbsbirn (1604 - 1664) was one of the founders of the Peace of Westphalia. The castle is in excellent condition and there is delicious 🍨 in the castle café across the street.

Großstöbnitz Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Sprotte Adventure Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Nice bike path through beautiful countryside, little to no other cyclists. A small piece of road does not spoil the enjoyment. Attention, do not miss a turn to the right over a small wooden bridge at the Lohmamühle, otherwise you will be right in front of the old mill. But this one is also worth seeing and a bit mysterious.. ;)

Thousand-Year-Old Oak of Nöbdenitz

Highlight • Natural Monument

about 700 years old oak, in which there is actually a grave, namely the deceased from 1824 manor Hans Wilhelm von Thümmel. Otherwise, with age, again and again exaggerated (as with almost all "1000-year-old" trees.
