A little gem off the main route Gebelzig Castle is a true gem – impressive, yet rarely overcrowded. The grounds date back to the 18th century and are lovingly maintained today. The view from the park side with its ancient trees is particularly beautiful. Tip: If you appreciate peace and quiet, you should take a half-hour walk around the castle – it's particularly atmospheric in the morning or late afternoon. It's also ideal for a small picnic on the lawn opposite.

There is said to have been a mill on the Löbau Water as early as the beginning of the 16th century, in 1504. The Grube Watermill is located on an overflow weir. Rarely open.
