Thallwitz Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle was built around 1580. The Baroque garden was added at the end of the 17th century. The main avenue leads to the castle and, via a staircase with a Baroque fountain cascade, to the elevated terrace, where a Baroque new building was originally planned but was not carried out due to costs. It was used, among other things, as a hunting lodge. From 1943, it was even used as a clinic for plastic surgery, which was closed in 1994.

The Mulde, also known as the United Mulde or Vereinigte Mulde, is a left, non-navigable tributary of the Elbe. It is formed southeast of Leipzig near Sermuth (Saxony) by the union of two large source rivers, the longer Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, which has a larger discharge and drains a larger catchment area.

The river's catchment area covers large parts of Saxony and in particular the vast majority of the northern slopes of the Ore Mountains. With a water flow of almost 73 m³/s at the mouth[8], it is the fourth largest tributary of the Elbe.

The old form of the Mulde's name, Milda, is translated by name researchers as the water-rich one.[9] The word component Mel, with reference to grinding, is sometimes associated with the name in view of the large number of mills that used to operate on the river, which ignores the fact that river names represent the oldest, often Slavic or Celtic, geographical name layer.

Approach to Röcknitz with church. In Röcknitz, there is a playground that looks like the quartz porphyry quarry near Röcknitz.

Nice quiet street. Here you can rest and then race downhill. Not far from this place is a quarry.
