The best MTB trails around Eilenburg

You can't expect crystal clear bathing water in this moorland area.

The best viewpoint here in the moor.

From the small bridge, you have a nice view over the water.

After its construction in 1916, the tower was used to supply process water for the celluloid factory. In 2002, the water tower was no longer needed for its original purpose; however, it has since served as a fire water reservoir for the industrial and commercial area. As part of species protection, 20 nesting sites for swifts were established in the tower shaft. Optically imperceptible antenna systems from mobile network operators are installed in the upper cylindrical shell.[2][3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserturm_(Deutsche_Celluloid-Fabrik)

The structure shapes the silhouette of the city of Eilenburg with its height of 60.5 meters. The water tower was built in the Intze style. Ten reinforced concrete columns distributed around its circumference form the basic static structure.[4] Inside, the first staircase winds spirally over 184 steps along the tower wall and the columns up to the 54,000-liter waste butanol container. Below the cylindrical shell are oval and round windows, offering a wide view over the city, the former ECW site, and the Mulde floodplain. Another 117 steps of a spiral staircase lead to the lantern under the tower's spire.[2][3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserturm_(Deutsche_Celluloid-Fabrik)

The water tower was built in 1915–1916 by the construction company Dykerhoff & Widmann AG (Dresden branch) as a process water reservoir and to stabilize the water pressure for the then Deutsche Celluloid-Fabrik, later Eilenburger Chemiewerk (ECW). The tower had three water tanks with a capacity of 1 × 1500 m³ and 2 × 500 m³. The tower was completed in 1916, and later rectification plants were installed in the tower shaft, with which water was again removed from the technical alcohol used in drying processes. In 1950, the first renovation of the water tower took place. In 2002/2003, the tower was extensively renovated again. The rectification plants were dismantled, the 500 m³ tank in the basement was adapted as a fire water reservoir for the neighboring industrial area and supplemented with modern pumping technology. The collapse-endangered, corrosion-affected reinforced concrete structure of the conical shell roof was replaced by a steel-wood construction, nesting sites were created, and antenna systems for mobile communications were installed. For the reception and transmission of the latter, several large slots have been milled and clad into the cylindrical outer wall below the roof.[1] The lantern was rebuilt on the ground and lifted onto the conical roof by a crane. This use of the tower justified its preservation and the total renovation costs of 1,597,500 euros. The planning was the responsibility of the engineering firm Röder (Doberschütz). The renovation measure, officially completed on February 24, 2004, was carried out by 18 ABM (employment program) workers, coordinated by the Leipzig employment office and the executing company Dr. Waldenburger GmbH.[2][3] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasserturm_(Deutsche_Celluloid-Fabrik)

The water tower of the former Deutsche Celluloid-Fabrik (DCF) in Eilenburg is a 60.5-meter-high water tower built in 1916 for the industrial water supply of the former chemical plant. It is registered as a cultural monument in the state monument list as a building that shapes the cityscape and an outstanding example of industrial architecture in Eilenburg.

The Mulde flows exclusively in the North German Plain, initially through the Saxon Uplands, and passes Grimma, Nerchau, and Trebsen. Approximately near Wurzen, on the western edge of which it flows, the Mulde reaches the Elbe-Mulde Lowland. It then flows through Eilenburg and Bad Düben and shortly thereafter leaves Saxon territory. The remaining course to its mouth is covered by the Mulde in Saxony-Anhalt. Further downstream, until 1975, the Mulde flowed west of the two places Pouch and Friedersdorf in the area of today's Goitzschesee. Since then, it has been dammed up east of the two places in the Muldestausee – a former open-cast mine. Subsequently, the Mulde flows past Muldenstein, Jeßnitz, Raguhn, and Dessau and flows into the Elbe between Dessau and Roßlau after 147 km.[2] The revitalization project "Wilde Mulde" for the lower course in Dessau was recognized in November 2018 as an official project of the UN Decade of Biodiversity.[11][12] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulde_(Fluss)#Hochwasser
