Little Taura has a village museum - something like that must be worth a highlight... The museum reminds of life in the village in earlier times with objects, photos and texts. It is right next to the church and therefore at the starting point of my hike. Guided tours can be requested on the Taura website.

North Saxony (TZ). Our area was inhabited thousands of years ago. This is proven in particular by old burial sites, including burial mounds in the Pflückuff forest in Torgau, in the farmer's forest south of Schildau and in the Colbitzwald near Staupitz, in the Falkenberg and Falkenstruth forests near Döbrichau, Roitzsch and Gräfendorf. The most numerous and impressive prehistoric archaeological monuments in the Dahlener Heide come from the Bronze Age (2000 to 750 BC) with around 100 burial mounds. Whether from the older, middle or younger Bronze Age cannot be decided here.
