Tips from the Community
In near-total silence, we stroll across the grounds, savoring the moment. The church shines in all its glory, bathed in the rays of the autumn sun. We enter the church; a service is in progress, and it's noticeable that Sorbian is still actively spoken here. We don't want to disturb them any further. We continue our walk through the grounds, reach the monastery café, and take a seat. After a while, we head back outside and are surprised by a flood warning sign. A few meters away, the Klosterwasser stream babbles along, almost like a brook, several meters below. We return to the church. Now, after the service, let's take another look inside. It's built in the Late Gothic style. The interior is beautiful, too, with a view of the altar and the interplay of red and white tones. The gallery is lined with statues. With these impressions, we leave the grounds. https://youtu.be/X0epJTurlSE

The Black Elster River originates at an elevation of 317 meters above sea level in the Lusatian Mountains (Upper Lusatia). Information: A 179-kilometer-long right tributary of the Elbe River in the German states of Saxony, Brandenburg, and Saxony-Anhalt. It began drying up in 2018. Due to the exceptionally hot and dry weather, the increasingly frequent drying of the spring basin reflects the drought in the source area.

St. Benno Parish Church and the wayside cross in front of it in the Ostro district of Panschwitz-Kuckau. Information: This charming Baroque hall church was built between 1768 and 1772. The furnishings date from the time of the church's construction. The wayside cross, dating from the 19th century, is a wrought-iron crucifix on a granite pedestal and is of regional historical significance. The corpus and Madonna are gilded.

The Bocka Manor was first mentioned in 1508. It is located on a hill above the Klosterwasser valley, not far from Bautzen. A beautifully designed and well-maintained gem. It's wonderful that it has been restored and thus breathed new life into.
