To mark its 20th anniversary in 2013, the Elsterschloss-Gymnasium Support Association commissioned the creation and installation of an art installation on the grounds of the present-day Elsterschloss-Gymnasium. As part of the "Art at the Castle" project, a bronze casting model of Elsterschloss Elsterwerda was created. This model provides information about the former and current uses of the building complex, as well as its historical context throughout its existence, thus further enriching the castle's presence. https://www.elsterschloss.de/kunstobjekt.html

St. Urban's Church in Wantewitz. Info: A listed church building, built in 1864. A medieval predecessor eventually became too small and was demolished in 1863.

It's always soothing to cycle or walk in the city park. There's always something new to discover. I enjoy looking at the flower beds in the circular park. Hopefully it stays that way.

It's borderline for racing bikes - the path is asphalted, but very rough and has potholes in places. It's also too narrow and every encounter with pedestrians or cyclists requires caution. But it's guaranteed to be car-free!
