Top 20 Lakes around Crostwitz

A wonderful 1,000 hectare pond landscape with countless species of water birds, such as whooper and mute swans, herons, swimming and diving ducks and sea eagles. Unfortunately, this idyll is marred by the fact that the private owner regularly organizes "waterfowl hunts" here, especially for mallards.

A lake with everything your heart desires: beach, playground and swimming. A great destination on a hike.

Please keep the environment clean ✌🏻

It's a wonderfully quiet area. Very pleasant for cyclists and a detour to the right and left of the ponds is good for the soul.

The Deutschbaselitzer Großteich, Upper Sorbian Pazličanski wulki hat, is a pond in Saxony that was created between 1532 and 1542. The pond is located northeast of Kamenz near Deutschbaselitz in Upper Lusatia. The pond initially consisted of three individual ponds. It was not until around 1800 that Karl Heinrich and Friedrich Christlieb von Zezschwitz (see also memorial plaque picture 4) converted it into its current form by removing the intermediate dams.

Hardly any other nature reserve (NSG) in Lausitz preserves so many rare evidence from the last 10,000 years as the Dubringer Moor. The landscape is a 3000 year old cultural landscape. It offers friends of home and nature as well as historians an interesting refuge. Im There are stone, bronze and pre-Roman Iron Age settlement finds, references to an approximately 3000 year old Rajino and legends of a haunted knight in the middle of the moor. Already in the Middle Ages, areas were used for forestry by the Cistercians. The Neudorf fishponds are also declining. (Source: Lausitzer Rundschau of July 10, 2018)

"Feldspar, quartz, and mica, I'll never forget those three," a schoolmaster once rhymed to help his students memorize the components of this plutonic rock. From the mid-19th century onward, granite had become a building material with steadily increasing demand. Building construction required bricks, window and door frames, steps and landings; road construction required paving stones and curbs; and railways required ballast and stones for bridge construction. Granite covers an area of 4,600 km² in Lusatia alone. This is the reason why countless quarries emerged between Kamenz and the Königshainer Hills. The area around the Klosterberg between Demitz-Thumitz and Schmölln quickly developed into the most important and largest mining area in Saxony. The steadily increasing demand for granite products led to the development of many quarries. These, in turn, attracted workers who settled in the villages surrounding the Klosterberg. In the 100 years between 1850 and 1950, the population of Demitz-Thumitz increased nearly tenfold. Source: https://www.demitz-thumitz.de/
