The St. Michael's Church in Zeithain dates back to a small village church and received its current form with a tower and net vault in 1596. After fire and lightning damage, it was rebuilt several times, most recently visibly renovated from 2000 onwards. Today a quiet stop with a beautiful, well-kept churchyard.

The obelisk of the pleasure camp in Zeithain is the last (of three) surviving witness to a military camp that was extremely unusual for the time. Excerpt from Wikipedia: The "Zeithain Pleasure Camp" was an organizational and logistical masterpiece that caused a sensation throughout Europe. It was not only the largest military parade in Europe, but above all it was considered the most gigantic Baroque festival of its time, the "spectacle of the century," which, due to its splendor and opulence, remains the epitome of Baroque lifestyle to this day. Ottoman state tents were also used, two of which can be viewed today in the Turkish Chamber of the Dresden Royal Palace. Baroque sandstone obelisks also marked the camp from afar, of which four obelisks (three between Glaubitz, Streumen and Marksiedlitz and one obelisk in the Zeithain district, about 2 km north of the old town center) are still preserved and have since been renovated.

During the reign of the Saxon Elector Frederick Augustus I, known as "Augustus the Strong" (1670 to 1733), it was discovered that the plateau-like Zeithain Lower Terrace was exceptionally well-suited as a military maneuvering area and especially as a shooting range. From May 31 to June 28, 1730, the area between Zeithain, Radewitz, Streumen, and Lichtensee was used for the first time by approximately 30,000 soldiers and officers for military exercises. Forty-eight invited European princes and their military personnel observed the maneuvers. The Elector himself led the exercises, which became known in history as the "Zeithain Pleasure Camp" because of the copious feasting, drinking, and celebrations that took place there at night. Finally, all the ladies of the court of Dresden were also present. A restored obelisk made of Saxon sandstone, which was re-erected at the historic site in 2007 on the 277th anniversary of the first maneuver, still bears witness to the "Zeithain Pleasure Camp."

It's not a highlight, but it's quite useful for pushing the bike over the steps.
