The hiking trail (Way of St. James) often runs very close to the Löbau River. When it's wet or frozen and there's fallen leaves, you have to be very careful. It's not recommended for everyone.

Drehsa Castle, park, and manor house, with a plaque at the entrance gate providing information about the Way of St. James (Camino de Santiago). Information: First mentioned in 1627 as a fief. The castle, park, and manor house are not open to the public. The observation tower is a former water tower of the manor and was used as a lookout from 1994 to 2007. It has 115 steps, was built in 1889, and supplied water to the castle until 1967.

Unfortunately, there's a construction fence around the ruins, making it officially impossible to visit. The fence has probably been up for a few years. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like anything will change in the foreseeable future.

The dragon slayer Siegfried is apparently still sitting on the tail of the slain dragon. However, the hero himself is no longer complete, although it remains unclear whether the weather conditions have simply had an effect or whether destruction is the cause. The absence of the right arm suggests the latter.
