The paper mill weir invites you to linger. There are several seating areas, some of which are covered.

The church tower clock has no numbers, but instead shows the motto TIME IS GRACE in letters. On the upper floor of the tower, curtain arch windows from the first half of the 16th century can be seen. During a restoration in 1985/1986, the top of the tower was rebuilt. wikipedia

Franz Bartsch, a gifted musician and composer, was born in Schmölln. The people of Schmölln honored him with a loving memory by naming this popular bridge, which is also part of the Sprotter cycle path!
