November 9, 2025, War Memorial Gorma

Memorial at Gormaer Pond, which is always populated by waterfowl. A playground is also located right there. Perfect for a break with children.

The water tower, with a height of 41.50 meters, is visible from far away, and in good visibility even beyond the Altenburg region.
