Cascades — Outflow of the Burgteich

Highlight • Waterfall

For a simple jump, the run-off is about 2.0m wide and very slippery in rainy weather. Who dares wins 😉 .
The cascade, on the other hand, offers a beautiful photo motif at any time of the year

The Church of the Resurrection, consecrated in 1896, replaced the Church of St. Leonard, which was built in 1430 and was too small and dilapidated for the community at the time.

After the complete renovation of the interior in 1990/1991, you can find very beautiful Art Nouveau paintings by Prof. Wehle from Dresden on the ceiling, as well as a baptistery and artistic stained glass windows.

Schönfels Castle

Highlight • Castle

Schönfels Castle is located southwest of Zwickau on a rocky outcrop of diabase. The castle boasts well-preserved buildings, including a rampart, moat, and a circular wall. I highly recommend the restaurant.
