Remembrance of the village of Stöntzsch, which was buried by open-cast mining. View towards Pegau and the Profen open-cast mine. Hikes along the Elsterfloßgraben to the Werbener See are inviting.

The Elster Millrace branches off from the White Elster River near Profen and flows for 29 km before rejoining the White Elster at Großzschocher. Due to mining-related changes in the southern Leipzig area, it is now called the Profen Millrace, which is 18.5 km long and flows from Profen via Elstertrebnitz, Pegau, and Großstorkwitz to Kleindalzig, where it empties into the so-called Concrete Elster. https://www.leipzig-lese.de/sehenswuerdigkeiten/oertlichkeiten/moenche-muehlen-mahlprodukte/
