Today we visit the town of Herrnhut, we start our exploration from the car park, directly opposite the show workshop of the Herrnhuter Sterne. If it is already well-filled with people in the morning, we find ourselves in the middle of the pre-Christmas season. From 1722, religious refugees from Moravia settled here and founded the town of Herrnhut and the Moravian Church. If the star symbolizes the star of Bethlehem, it is a widespread Christmas accessory. We go into the town, but the tree trunk is unfortunately closed. In 1897, Pieter Hendrik Verbeek invented the first assemblable star. Passing the bakery, erected as early as 1735, we reach the Zinzendorfplatz.... https://youtu.be/APY8BgHzpnU

Onwards and onwards, what awaits us now is absolutely impressive. We reach the Kelchstein and the Kelchsteinwächter. They stand out not only for their impressive shape but also for their reddish color. If it is Bunter Sandstein, the red coloring results from the embedded iron oxide hydrate. Fantastic what nature has created here, let's walk around it and now see the whole formation from the other side. We are not the only ones who can hardly stop marveling. With these impressions, we move on, next awaits us the Torwächter, followed by the Elefantenkopf, with its large stone tusks. https://youtu.be/N2GgTh6HEzQ
