Zelder’s Ponds

Highlight • Lake

The Neudorf pond farm is run by the Dr. Zelder already managed in the third generation. Carp, tench, pike and other freshwater fish are bred in the ponds. In the summer months you can feed them yourself in the Fischerklause or explore the Dubringer Moor by paddle boat, which you can rent here. You can find the current opening hours here: zelders-fisch.de/gaststaette.html.

View of the Mittelteich at Zelder Teiche

Highlight • Lake

Not only are Zelder's ponds worthwhile, the fish restaurant is first choice. You can't get a seat there without an appointment and the food...... a poem. The service is extremely friendly and takes the time to answer questions. Everyone can decide for themselves value for money, you don't do it every day.

Krabat Mill, Schwarzkollm

Highlight • Historical Site

The Krabat is probably the most famous legendary figure of the Sorbs. Here in the Black Mill or Devil's Mill the old magician is said to have learned the magic craft from the miller. He used his magical powers to do good deeds for the poor farmers and to kid rich wealthy cattle farmers.

In the KRABAT mill you will find a whole world of experience around the figure of Krabat. You can take themed tours and events and learn more about customs and crafts. Various scenes from the Krabatsage are shown on the adventure trail. The KRABAT Festival has also been taking place here since 2012.

Schwarze Mühle Schwarzkollm

Highlight • Monument

Black mill / čorny młyn

The Black Mill with the impressive mill tower and its picturesque reed roof takes you back to the time of the Krabat legend. Only through the historical mill technology with the water wheel, the original film props and the elaborate carvings inside does the most important building on the adventure courtyard acquire a unique character.

The listed barn with the typical clay construction originally comes from Dubring near Wittichenau and was restored and rebuilt here. The tower with its meter-thick walls in the lower part contains the mill technology that is set in motion by water power. The 5 m wide larch wood wheel with 48 blades is overshot.

The "Krabatmühle-Schwarzkollm e.V." association was able to secure the mill technology from two mills, one from Schönau (near Wittichenau) and one near Mittenwalde. With the support of the former mill owner and the mill builder Schuhmann, it has been possible to revive historical elements and make them accessible to visitors.

On March 12, 2009 the association "Krabatmühle-Schwarzkollm e.V." the decision
to approve the financial support of the project for the construction of the
legendary "Black Mill".

The foundation stone of the Black Mill was laid on May 19, 2009.

Completion: 2010/2011

Forest Path at Koselbruch

Highlight • Forest

The drive through this wonderfully fragrant forest to the Koselbruch to the Krabat mill is the perfect introduction to the legend. Basically, however, such pine forests are not unusual in the area and actually the landscape does not change significantly up to Vladivostok. ;-)
