You can take very nice reflections of trees, clouds and etc. The place is very nice for hobby photographers but also for normal photographers. You can take a lot of photos of the beautiful nature.

The Deutschbaselitzer Großteich, Upper Sorbian Pazličanski wulki hat, is a pond in Saxony that was created between 1532 and 1542. The pond is located northeast of Kamenz near Deutschbaselitz in Upper Lusatia. The pond initially consisted of three individual ponds. It was not until around 1800 that Karl Heinrich and Friedrich Christlieb von Zezschwitz (see also memorial plaque picture 4) converted it into its current form by removing the intermediate dams.

The small hut at the Biehlaer Großteich is a real hotspot. Spending a rest here is simply fantastic.
