Overview

About this route

0

In a wide arc, the ‚Schwarze Elster‘ embraces the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft Nature Park in the south and west. Until the mid-19th century, it still consisted of a dense network of river arms and islands. In 1852, under pressure from the farmers, the law for the improvement of the Schwarze Elster lowlands was passed. Today, hardly anything remains of the former river arms and diverse vegetation. A first step to hold water longer in the region, has meanwhile been implemented with the project to renature the Kleine Elster.

Much earlier, with the establishment of the Dobrilugk monastery, the surrounding forests were gradually reduced in size. The main tree species on the poor soils is the pine. However, there are also special features such as the silver fir or the Niederlausitzer lowland spruce. But there is also something very special to see on the tour. About 15 metres above, the Rothsteiner Rock towers over the surrounding landscape. Romantic hideaways and paths, steep slopes as well as sharp ridges – high mountains in miniature! The rock is only the tip of an underground mountain range, whose foothills extend to Torgau, among other places. The Rothsteiner Rock is a geological natural monument and this rock composition is only found three more times – in Yellowstone National Park, in New Zealand and in Iceland.
