The Mars display board explains a lot about the planet and is part of the planet trail.

Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system and the one closest to the sun. On the Eilenburg Planetary Trail, you'll encounter it after just a few steps. Its station vividly demonstrates how tiny it is compared to the sun—a rocky planet with a surface full of craters reminiscent of our moon. Due to its proximity to the sun, Mercury experiences extreme temperature fluctuations: During the day, it can reach temperatures of up to 430°C, while at night, it can reach a frigid -180°C. The information panel at the station explains that Mercury has a very thin atmosphere, which does not protect it from the strong solar winds.

Here the mill stream flows in all its power and splendor. A lovely place to pause and let your thoughts flow.

The Planet Trail begins here and ends at the old weir on the Mulde River. The information board clearly shows where and how it leads. Along the trail, there are numerous information panels with information about each planet at different intervals.

great view of the ditch. Anglers often sit here and try their luck. It's nice to relax by the flow. Pedestrian bridge only. Motorized vehicles have no place here.
