Highlight • Lake

The Görigker See is also part of the old mine. The former open-cast mine is part of the "Steinitz-Geisendorfer Endmoränenlandschaft" nature reserve. The lake is very small and invites you to swim in summer.

What is there in Steinitz?
one of the oldest churches in Lower Lusatia, a staircase, a toboggan run, the Steinitzhof, mining history with a lake and many old oak trees along the paths.
