Beautiful place with a mill shop and café. Homemade mill bread and cakes are available here. Everything was very loving and familiar. The prices are more than okay. The mill is right on Dolchesee, with small tables and chairs.

July 14, 2024,Barockgarten Neuzelle, Fasanenwald, durchs Dorchetal mit Gallensee, Gr. u. Kl. Kantopp, Schwerzkoer Mühle; Runde von Neuzelle

The destination was not the Neuzelle brewery, as was the case with many other guests, but actually the Dorchetal, a blank spot for us until then.
Due to the few early visitors, we started in the monastery and its wonderful baroque garden; then we did the tour in exactly the opposite direction to what we had planned. The monastery was …

... today I went on another autumnal tour to the Schlaubetal, but not to THE Schlaubetal but 'only' to the nature park of the same name, which includes other idyllic stream valleys. My goal was to finally complete the marked Dorchetal circular hiking trail as completely as possible, supplemented by a long stretch through the Fasanenwald forest southeast of Neuzelle …

Thunderstorms - storms - rain - sun, and always a beautiful change... Whitsun in the spirit of April. The moderate weather on Monday was used for a hike after all. From Neuzelle train station, we headed through the idyllic Dorchetal valley 🌾 and back again, with a visit to the beautiful Neuzelle monastery garden.⛪️

We start our hike around 11:00 AM at Neuzelle station (RB43) and first walk through Neuzelle to the Klosterbrauerei (monastery brewery) and the Marienkirche (St. Mary's Church) in the monastery, which we visit. We follow the Dorche for a while and continue into the forest, passing the Streichwitzer Höhen, to Bomsdorf Vorwerk.

The weather forecast had predicted continuous rain for this day, but it didn't materialize until the end of the hike. So we were able to enjoy this very beautiful tour, once again perfectly chosen by @Cornell Paasche from the @RainbowHikers, and we even broke a sweat when it went uphill for a while.
Thank you very much!
