Schwarzburg Castle offers an exciting blend of history, impressive architecture, and beautiful nature. Don't miss the Imperial Hall with its imperial portraits, the Princely Armory with its unique collection of weapons, and the magnificent view of the Schwarza Valley.

These fascinating geological formations, also known as scours, are a special feature of this river. Their formation is due to an erosive process caused by the turbulent flow of the water and the sedimentary material it carries. Irregularities in the riverbed, such as small depressions, bumps, or harder rock inclusions, can cause the water to swirl. These initial eddies create a rotating water movement with increased flow velocity and a grinding effect directly on the riverbed.

A beautiful, flat gravel path begins here, leading along the railway line to Lichtenhain. It's perfect for walking. And you can possibly take the train back.

The banks of the Saale near Remschütz offer idyllic spots right by the water and invite you to take a relaxing break. A lovely place to take a break during a hike or bike ride. There is also a cosy artist café nearby.
