Seeburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Fantastically located on the Süß See and can be seen from afar.
It would be nice if it got a castle lord who saved it

The ship's restaurant "Seeperle" has a rich history. In 1892, the passenger side-wheel steamer left the shipyard in Dresden-Blasewitz and was christened "Graf Molthe." At that time, the steamer sailed under the Saxon-Bohemian flag on the Upper Elbe. In 1945, it was confiscated by Czechoslovakia. In 1947, it was renamed "Königstein" and served with the "White Fleet Dresden" until its final decommissioning in 1972.
The then Eisleben Consumer Cooperative purchased the ship and converted it into a restaurant. It was rechristened on July 7, 1973. This time, the ship was renamed "Seeperle" and became a restaurant with a bar on the Süßen See.

In 1991, the ship's restaurant was again put up for sale. Long-time chef Jürgen Meinecke acquired the restaurant and has successfully run it ever since.

Egypten Vineyards

Highlight • Viewpoint

The vineyard paradise lies in "Egypt." There, in addition to magnificent views, there are also beautiful vineyard gardens. Why this parcel of land was named after this distant land and is even spelled with an "E" is anyone's guess. Perhaps because in the Middle Ages, traveling people, the "Sons of Egypt," stayed in the protected wine-growing valleys. Or perhaps also because the Mansfeld region is known for its mining waste dumps, which sit like pointed caps on the mountains. These dumps are shaped like pyramids.
