The food is good and it's not expensive - it's also the last place you'll find a toilet before you get to either Wörlitz or Oranienbaum.

Located directly on the asphalted Elbe cycle path, it invites you to take a short stop

architecture Prince Franz covered the entire cost of building the church and commissioned his construction director Georg Christoph Hesekiel to carry out the work. The high, pointed arched tracery windows already convey a slim and upward impression, which is reinforced by two pointed towers and the very high roof. The two spires could once be seen from far away in the garden kingdom. A brick front faces Dessau, from which the towers grow. After Wörlitz, a pointed weather tower crowns the roof, which is broken up by small bay windows. The princely coat of arms is displayed above the main entrance door in the direction of Dessau. The very light interior, designed in light colors, is kept simple, in keeping with its purpose as a village church. The tapered ceiling is supported by a net vault. A three-sided, white-painted oak gallery, which rests on slender columns, takes up the pointed-arched, neo-Gothic shapes. The organ front and wooden pulpit are reminiscent of creations in the neighboring churches of Wörlitz and Riesigk.[1] Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Vockerode

Story The church, built between 1810 and 1812, is one of the most beautiful neo-Gothic creations under Prince Franz. The eventful church history of the Vockerode community began as early as 1540 with the mention of the first chapel on the Kirchberg. In December 1809, the new church was built in the neo-Gothic style and the topping-out ceremony was celebrated in September 1810. The inauguration of the church, which is still preserved in its original form today, took place on September 27, 1812 and by 1817 the interior of the church was decorated with neo-Gothic decorative decorations. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the church consecration, the church received a new organ from the Dessau organ building company Fleischer and Kindermann. A heating system was also installed. In 1930 the church towers were covered with slate. The church was not mentioned again in the local chronicle until October 31, 1992. On that day, the renovated church building was handed over to the community during a celebratory service. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorfkirche_Vockerode

Story The name Leiner Berg (Glyner Berg) as well as the Leiner See derive from a desert village or a ministerial castle Glin (Lords of Glyn 1237–1335). Traces of this original settlement were found during forestry work as early as 1900. To the north and east of Lake Leiner and the Löbben, once a popular excursion and bathing destination and now just a swamp area, there is a richly structured forest and meadow landscape with centuries-old solitary willows and oaks and many hiking trails.

The Leiner Berg is a former dune on the Elbe in the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Kingdom[1]. The Leiner Berg forester's house is located on this hill. It was built in 1830 by the grandson of Franz's father, Leopold IV. Today it belongs to the Vockerode district of the town of Oranienbaum-Wörlitz. The building, built in the Swiss style, is located about 3 km east of the Mulde and about 2 km north of the village of Nauendorf (now the Waldersee district of the town of Dessau-Roßlau).
