The heath pond is on the edge of the Düben heath, near the small village of Reinharz. It can be easily reached via signposted forest paths. There is a resting place right at the pond for a break. ☺️👍🏻

Beaver wetlands in the Dübener Heide

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Shallow water, gnawed tree stumps and beaver burrows on banks. If you keep your eyes open here, you will see countless tracks left by the local beavers. Of course, the beavers themselves want to be left alone. 😅👍🏻 A very interesting section of the forest. 👏🏻☺️

Reinharz Village Church

Highlight • Religious Site

According to an inscription, the Reinharz village church was completed in 1704 as a plastered baroque brick building. Restorations were carried out in 1951–1954 and 1996/1998. The church consists of a hall with a three-sided end and a west tower with a domed, curved hood; entrances are arranged in the south, west and north. The nave, with its Gothic pointed arch windows and buttresses, is an important testimony to a historicizing trend in late baroque architecture, which appeared primarily in buildings in newly created manorial estates and was apparently intended to legitimize the landowners' claim to power by referring to ancient stylistic features (similar to the church in Wölkau in Saxony).

Reinharz Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

Reinharz Castle and Castle Park
Heinrich von Löser, Electorate of Saxony's hereditary marshal, had a representative moated castle with a baroque park, castle pond and brewery pond built between 1690 and 1701 in order to provide appropriate accommodation for the nobles during their hunts in the Düben Heath. Löser based the three-story, horseshoe-shaped building on the annual division: the facade is divided into 365 windows, and the castle has 52 doors and 12 rooms.
The 68 m high tower was used as an observatory in the 18th century.
Valuable scientific equipment was created in the mechanical-optical workshop, including telescopes, reflecting telescopes and sundials. 15 of these are on display in the Mathematical-Physical Salon of the Dresden Zwinger.
The formally designed garden was probably completed in the first half of the 18th century under the direction of Hans von Löser.

In 1837, the castle, including the farm buildings and park, was sold to the bourgeois Hertwig family, who had the park landscaped after 1850. The northern embroidery parterre with the strictly axial path system was removed. In addition, a connected meadow area, the "castle meadow", was created with many, sometimes rare, individual trees and groups of trees. Today, they characterize the striking old trees. In the southern section of the park, the main path system has largely been preserved.
Between 1947 and 1990, the castle and park were used as a spa complex.
The complex has been privately owned since 1998.

A well-kept and somewhat special little rest area. The figures remind me of the works of chainsaw artists.

A very beautiful hike in the Düben Heath, mostly along the Luther Trail to Reinharz Castle and the surrounding area. There were plenty of rest areas and benches along the route.

Today we went on our first hike in the Düben Heath. We were piqued by the interesting tour by @g.a.frosch. So we did some research and then set off with great joy. The weather was perfect. We met few people along the way. Unfortunately, the Devil's Mill is closed for construction work, and the castle is also not accessible. The …

March 17, 2022,Heideteich – Auf den Spuren der Biber Runde von Reinharz

If you fancy a group tour, this round is well suited. The paths are paved most of the time and wide enough to walk next to each other. There are few places that promote sure-footedness or climbing. The beaver circuit at the castle is well signposted and easy to follow. Along the pond you can even now find fresh beaver …

September 25, 2021,Heide-Bieber-Tour 🐿️mit 🏰 Reinharz und 🍻"😈 Mühle"

A varied hike in the Dübener Heide with the old water castle Reinharz, funny wooden figures and refreshment stops in the "Teufelsmühle" or the "Schöne Aussicht". If you walk it counterclockwise, you can go down the stairs 😆 and you have the particularly beautiful part in the forest at the end.

Short information, the Teufelsmühle has unfortunately closed forever. The new owner no longer wants to run the restaurant.
