Tips from the Community

Steinig
January 1, 2026, Elsterfloßgraben at Salsitzer Englischer Garten

The Elsterfloßgraben (Elster Log Flume) was built between 1578 and 1580 to supply the saltworks in Poserna, Teudlitz, and Kötzschau, and even Halle, with timber. The water intake from the White Elster River is near Crossen, located between Gera and Zeitz. Today, log rafting is recognized as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO, and the Elsterfloßgraben is also declared a supra-regional technical monument. https://www.elsterflossgraben.com/geschichte/?mobile=1

Unfinished and unconsecrated church, but nevertheless architecturally impressive, such a beautiful, simple space.
