Guardians of the Goitzsche

Highlight • Monument

Near the Paupitzscher See, the landscape art object "Guardian of the Goitzsche" impressively symbolizes the preservation of what was beautiful and valuable in the Goitzsche. The ten larger-than-life steel guys with red breastplates and red flags are arranged in a circle and, together with the surrounding nature, form an impressive motif.

What makes the Goitzsche so extraordinary is the conscious transformation into the world's largest art project, which was created in the course of the EXPO 2000 world exhibition. The first erected and best-known symbol is the "gauge tower". With its 26 m, it spirals into the sky and, after 144 steps, allows a special view of the surrounding landscape.

The 28 m high "Bitterfelder Bogen", the city's landmark, offers the best view. This impressive structure represents the connection between the past and future of the former mining region. It is enthroned on the Bitterfeld mountain and offers visitors a diverse panorama of Bitterfeld-Wolfen and the fascinating Goitzsche lake region.

Exmoor Pony Enclosure

Highlight • Structure

The Exmoor pony originally comes from Exmoor in the south-west of England. It is a very hilly, often uncultivable landscape, in which gorse, heath and bushes predominate in large parts. Some Exmoor pony herds have been able to survive here almost in the wild. Exmoor ponies are one of the few "real" wild horses, as they are not domestic horses that have been released into the wild, like many horses in other free-living herds. They have been breeding there in Exmoor for thousands of years without human intervention.

View of the Holzweißiger Baltic Sea

Highlight • Viewpoint

After a short climb you will be rewarded with a great view of the lake. You are also more or less alone here, as the path is not easily accessible for cyclists and not many walkers and hikers come along here.
