A beautiful vantage point. Hornets have moved into the gable, and there's a warning sign posted (as of September 2025). The little creatures are peaceful, though (I'm allergic to wasp and hornet venom), and if you just watch them, nothing will happen.

Unfortunately, just under a month ago, this beautiful hut was set on fire and burned down completely.

Well, bison in the Leipzig Neuseenlandschaft? Why not, because these unmistakable wild cattle, which graze on the extensive meadows and pastures on the southern shore of Lake Markkleeberg, are there to care for and keep the landscape open. From the rest area you can watch the mighty animals wonderfully.
