Zaufensgraben

Highlight • Gorge

The Zaufensgraben rises about 1,000 m southwest of the Gera-Leumnitz airfield.
The stream flows through Gera in a predominantly southwesterly direction. In the middle section it forms a narrow V-shaped valley in which the Zaufensgraben nature reserve is located, which is the smallest in Gera with an area of 11 hectares. It passes the Ronneburger Höhe with the Ferberturm observation tower there. In the lower section the ditch is piped under Meuselwitzer Straße. Finally, the stream flows into the Gessenbach at about 195 m above sea level, which flows into the Weiße Elster a little further west.

Gate "Pond" with species protection tower (Gutsturm) Gate:
In the Middle Ages there was a moated castle, later a manor. The only part of the former manor that remains is the tower. In the course of its renovation, breeding and living quarters were created for birds living in the building and nocturnal bats. The newly created water and the trees ensure an extensive range of food.
