Cycling
The varied circular route leads through 13 stations through the habitats of rare animal and plant species that characterize the territory of the sea eagle. The sea eagle circular route is a cycle route with a length of around 90 kilometers. It has no significant inclines and is ideal for trekking or mountain bikes.
The cycle path runs on unpaved farm, sand and forest paths, but also on asphalted cycle and hiking paths and roads. The journey can be started at any point on the sea eagle circular route. However, we recommend starting at the HOUSE OF A THOUSAND POND visitor information center in Wartha.
At the 13 stations, there are not only places to linger but also interesting information boards about the nature and culture of the Upper Lusatian heath and pond landscape. Here, the sea eagle, its habitat requirements, way of life, the threats and suitable protective measures are presented in particular. In the communities in the biosphere reserve there are various places to stop and see attractions such as local museums, natural and artistic monuments or farm shops.

Milkel Castle
Highlight • Castle
Friedrich von Metzradt, mentioned as early as 1272 among the “Budissin men”, founded the Milkel manorial seat around 1300. With him and his family, the Church of Milkel was built in 1322. The Metzradt family resided in Milkel until 1595.
from 1595 to 1617 the von Löben family,
from 1617 to 1640 von Krahe family,
1640 to 1759 the von Ponickau family.
In 1719/20 the north tower was added by the von Ponickau family and the current basic form was created. Since Moritzburg was brought into its current form in 1724/25, it stands to reason that Milkel was the pilot project for Moritzburg.
1759 to 1769 Countess of Gersdorf and Caroline Auguste von Löben.
From 1769 to 1908 Milkel was owned by the von Einsiedel family.
In 1908 the Landbank zu Berlin took over the property and sold it to the von Holnstein family, who renovated the castle extensively and lived in it until it was expropriated in 1945.
From 1945 to 1948 Schloss Milkel was used as a refugee camp,
From 1948 to 1953, the Free German Trade Union Confederation trained its functionaries here in the basic questions of Marxism and Leninism.
The Sorbian language school used the area from 1953 to 1993.
From 1993 to 1998 the castle stood empty, was viewed by 51 interested parties, but was not sold and was left to decay due to the high repair backlog.
In 1998, Hermann Fuchs from Lower Franconia bought the castle and began rescuing the building in 1997. After 20 years of renovation work, the castle, the cavalier houses, the park and the burial sites of the previous owners are now in a monument-worthy condition.
The coats of arms of the former owners, those of Zehmen, Ponikau, Haugwitz and Einsiedel, were located above the portal door, the front windows and in the gable part of the central projection.
The time division of the sundial and all coats of arms were destroyed in GDR times because they were not compatible with the political ideology. The sundial was restored in 2008. 2010 Complete renovation of the castle roof and restoration of the stucco gable.
Particularly noteworthy interior features are the cell vaults in the south tower from after 1400 and the stucco work (around 1750) on the ceiling of the rococo hall.

Wonderful landscape 👌. Sometimes I didn't know where to look first.
The paths are quite rough in places, but you can get over it.
All in all, a successful day💪.
