Großer Ziegelteich

Highlight • Lake

Here at the Great Brick Pond, the hiking trail initially leads past several ponds, the Great Brick Pond, the Field Pond, and the Vorwerk pond opposite. The ponds are part of the pond landscape near Königswartha and are used for fishing. Especially the carp that come from these ponds, at this point in Lusatia, are known far beyond the borders because of their good quality. That is why bathing and any kind of water sports are prohibited in all ponds here, which is indicated by signs.

An adventure park for all ages has been created on the former open-cast mining site in Caminau. Those wishing to explore this adventure trail should pay close attention on the B 96 coming from Königswartha towards Hoyerswerda to avoid missing the small signpost behind the fish pond.

In 2005, a 350,000-square-meter former open-cast mining area of the Caminau kaolin works was opened to the public. Gradually, a unique network of biotopes developed, attracting many visitors with its diverse offerings: These include a dendrological nature trail, showcasing a collection of native and non-native trees. There is also a plant collection from Asia, featuring a replica of a Japanese shrine as a symbol of good fortune.
