If you want to change sides while hiking along the Elbe. The ferryman is really nice and took me along just like that.

This was the training ground for the mass murderers of the National Socialist concentration camp system. A place to commemorate the worst crimes.

on the other side there is a great restaurant at the campsite

Very beautiful old church

Furnishings On the altar mensa are the carved figures of Mary, Mary Magdalene and John, which once belonged to a crucifixion group and date from the first half of the 14th century. The richly carved pulpit from the beginning of the 18th century is decorated with the figures of the evangelists, Moses and Ezekiel between set pillars. The urn-shaped baptismal font was created in 1830 by F. J. Conrad from Torgau. A wooden, slightly smaller than life-size baptismal angel dates from the second half of the 16th century. Remains of a former multi-winged altarpiece have also been preserved. The rectangular Last Supper painting probably formed the predella, and the resurrection painting was in the top part; both date from the second half of the 17th century. Several gravestones can be found in the tower vestibule, including the Renaissance gravestone of Mayor Simon Reinkart († 1556) with inscriptions and fittings. The organ with a late Baroque facade was originally a work by Johann Carl Friedrich Lochmann from 1831.[1][2] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Marien_(Dommitzsch)

History and architecture The Dommitzsch town church is a stately three-aisled hall church made of brick with four bays, a recessed, elongated choir with a five-eighths end and a west tower, which was built in the years 1443-93. It was badly damaged by fire in 1637, when the nave vaults collapsed. In 1653 a new roof was built and later (probably in 1745) a flat ceiling was installed. The exterior was restored in 1896-98, with the plaster being removed; the interior was renovated in 1950. The high gable roof is fitted with bat dormers. The building is accessed from the north, south and west sides through pointed arch portals with late Gothic latticework. Above the west portal there are inscription stones with the construction dates. High pointed arch windows, which are decorated with various tracery forms on the choir, illuminate the interior of the building. On the north side of the choir there is a two-storey building with a sacristy and chapel, on the south side of the choir there is a box with a small round staircase tower crowned with a pointed helmet from 1896-98. The mighty west tower has a tapering top with pilaster strips. In 1703 dormers and a lantern were added, which were renewed in 1792. Inside, the flat ceiling is supported by late Gothic octagonal pillars with pointed arch arcades. The choir is topped with star vaults; coats of arms are attached to the consoles and keystones. On the sides of the nave there are galleries from around 1830 with openwork pointed arch friezes on the parapets, which are supported by fluted Doric columns. The sacristy has a groin vault; above it is a high chapel or singers' gallery with a star vault. The pointed arches that once opened to the choir and the northern aisle are now walled up, as is the original entrance on the east side. Inside there is a two-storey box with a wooden facade to the choir from the 18th century. Opposite on the south side of the choir there is a similarly designed box facade.
