View of the Westbruch Lake, Waldsteinberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view of the Westbruch from the highest ridge, which is about 27 meters high. The rock is granite porphyry, which is still quarried today. You can also climb and dive here.

View of Albrechtshain Lake

A dream, especially in the morning, narrow paths on the bank and the pastures that reach into the water make it a worthwhile excursion destination.

Beucha Hill Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The listed, extremely photogenic mountain church Beucha was built in the 13th century and expanded in the 19th century. Due to their location on the 147 meter high Beuchaer Kirchberg, you can see them from afar. The mountain itself is made of granite porphyry, which was mined here for a long time. The small lake Kirchbruch, which lies at the foot of the church, is one of the national geotopes in the Porphyrland Geopark.

Bergkirche Beucha and Quarry

Highlight • Religious Site

A really picturesque sight, as the small mountain church towers over the imposing quarry. There is even a place where you can go swimming in the quarry and wild asparagus grows on the bank.

View of the Bergkirche in Beucha and the Kirchbruch Quarry

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lake of the former church quarry has the outline of a heart. And in the middle of the indentation stands the Kirchberg, which is about 80 meters high, 35 million years old and crowned by the mountain church. A stunning panorama!

But first things first: The mountain has been around for many millions of years. In the 13th century, a first church was built on its hump, which was worn down by the Ice Age, and was expanded over the following centuries. From the 15th to the 19th century, granite porphyry was quarried around the Kirchberg so excessively in places that a deep fracture was formed, which surrounded the church on three sides. Today the quarry is flooded and has been designated a "National Geotope".
