Stork's nest in Alt Lostau

Highlight • Natural

Beautiful stork's nest in Alt Lostau. As you get closer, you can hear the storks clattering their beaks. I hadn't heard anything like that before. The locals can provide information.

It is located in the settlement of Alt Lostau near the Elbe and was built between 1150 and 1200 from quartzite quarry stones of the Pretzien quarries as a fortified church. It is a three-part staggered late Romanesque building with a broad west tower, nave and choir. The tower is perpendicular to the ship of the same width. The easterly choir was built on a square plan. The choir windows on the north and east sides are the only window openings of the building still preserved in their Romanesque design. The original main entrance to the church was on the south side. Presumably in the 18th century, a simple half-timbered construction was created here.

Alt-Lostau Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

Beautiful and idyllic resting place.

Interesting also you exhibition to the two last floods.

In the immediate vicinity is a stork's nest.

Unfortunately in 2018 they threw the chicks on the nest.

If you drive a few hundred meters further direction Lostau comes a dam. This was formerly the Eisrnbahnverbindung Lostau to Magdeburg.
