Whether coffee specialties, red lemonade, bratwurst or Flammkuchen – there is something for every taste. A playground invites the little ones, and a spacious outdoor seating area invites the grown-ups to linger. Solid wood picnic tables offer an ideal resting place for cyclists and bikers. You can also rent the VINETA-Bistro for family celebrations, company receptions or other events! From May 28th to August 27th, our concert series ›Music at the Dispatcher Tower‹ takes place on Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is free – you decide what cultural contribution you would like to pay. Seats will be reserved for pre-booked tickets. https://www.leipzig.travel/gastro/vineta-bistro-am-stoermthaler-see

April 19, 2025, Oberholz Station

The Oberholz stop in the south of Großpösna takes its name from the Oberholz forest area located south of the station. The station opened on April 20, 1893, making it forty years older than the Großpösna stop to the north. On October 1, 1916, Oberholz station was designated a railway station. The current stop has a platform and a wooden waiting room, which is the home of the Friends of the Großpösna Railway Association.

A playground right next to the buffalo trough. Almost everything is made of wood. There is something for every child. Whether it's a small climbing wall or swing or climbing castle, it's really nicely done. Right next to it is the forest and there is also a small Oberholz train station and bus stop.
