Information panels along the route offer fascinating insights into the history of the former mill sites.
The route passes through Pahrenz, where you can see the impressive tower-type Dutch windmill —a technical monument built in 1889 on the 141-meter-high Windmühlenberg and still open to visitors today. In the adjacent mill garden, you can also take a leisurely break (please check opening hours in advance).
The route continues to Neuhirschstein, where Hirschstein Castle towers over the Elbe—it can be visited during special events and by appointment.
In Boritz, a late-medieval cross stone is a sight to behold, and in Schänitz stands the stone Dutch-style windmill, one of the few surviving mills in this region. In Prausitz, the church and the remains of another windmill round out the exploration of this historic cultural landscape, which has much to offer both history buffs and nature lovers alike.

Tip2: In addition to the church from 1520 and its interior in the lower village, the four-sided farmstead with a three-gated cofferdam, Schänitzer Straße 9, is also a listed building. The Loose family has assembled a small private agricultural museum in this four-sided farmstead, where old tools and technology illustrate the development of agriculture. The museum can be visited by appointment (Tel. 03 52 66 / 82 34 8).
Tip3: The cross stone is one of the oldest landmarks of Boritz. It is made of sandstone with a visible height of 132 cm. In the Middle Ages atonement crosses were set as penance for acts of violence for members of the ruling noble class. From a documentary mention about grain interest, it can be seen that the cross was already standing in 1540. Another tradition says that on July 17, 1613, two maids from the parsonage, returning from the field, were struck by lightning at the crossroads. The peg holes indicate a lost inscription plate.
Tip4: In Heyda there is a listed church built in 1901/02 with its interior decoration and wall paintings. Probably in 1150 the first church was built. The church is officially mentioned in 1222. In 1647 and 1882 it is rebuilt. In 1901/1902 a new tower is built and a new organ and bells are installed. Until 1967 the townscape was characterized by two windmills and a wind turbine.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
