Wildlife Feeding Station and Pond in Aktienwald

Highlight • Structure

There used to be several ponds near the "Finster" house on the path that leads along the edge of the Aktienwald forest to Gersdorf and Stollberger Straße. Today, only one of these is "operational" while a second is currently dry.

Gränitz Lime Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

A linden tree planted around 1650 already stood nearby on the hill above the Gränitz farm. After 300 years, it had come to the end of its life and had fallen into disrepair. In 1950 a new lime tree was planted here, the "new Gränitz lime tree", which towers prominently on the hill from below. A sign on the tree informs about this story. From the Gränitz lime tree you can see the lower village of Erlbach, the forest road is down in the valley. On the left the Erlbach church spire looks out, while the wide view shows Stollberger Straße and the neighboring village of Gersdorf with the Marienkirche there. On the left you can also see the winding tower of the former Karl Liebknecht hard coal works, today the Oelsnitz Mining Museum.

"Purple Path" work "Twisted Peek" by Rotmilan

Highlight • Viewpoint

The artwork "Twisted Peek" (komoot translated it, no idea why) is accessible. It's a small tower on a hill, offering a good panoramic view.

Access by bicycle is somewhat difficult.

The best way to get there is via a farm track from Oberlungwitz. From the Kohleradeweg (coal cycle path), it's a hilly detour. However, the view of the surrounding area is beautiful, making it a good option for hikes.
