The White Stone marks a regional geological feature. Here, a rock formation consisting of a quartz vein emerges, striking for its atypical white color. This formation is also known as the Karasek Cave, named after the robber captain Johannes Karasek. This is said to have been the meeting place of the gang before and after several raids. While the robber captain actually existed, legend has it that his treasure, which has not yet been found, is hidden at this location. The story of the robber captain and information on the geology can be found in the Karasek Museum in Seifhennersdorf. Coming from Großschönau, it's worth taking a detour about 300 meters from the road and then continuing on to the Karasek Museum.

The Karasek Museum in Seifhennersdorf not only focuses on the eponymous robber chief, but also offers a wealth of interesting information about Seifhennersdorf, Upper Lusatia, and Bohemia. The exhibition on regional geology and historical mining is particularly recommended. A 20-minute video is available upon request, providing an easy-to-understand explanation of the exhibition. For those who still remember it, the exhibition with its wealth of familiar, typical everyday objects from the GDR era is also worthwhile. There is no commentary here. Just look and recognize... My personal tip: Pay for admission with a 10-euro note and put the 6-euro change in the donation box. They deserve it!

Please read the green sign for the Kreibichschenke correctly. K. married the Kreibichwirt's sister. It's only a small difference.

The Querxen Bridge leads into the enchanted Querxe Forest. It is not suitable for human crossing.

The White Stone is a rock formation up to six meters high in the Hofebusch forest near Spitzkunnersdorf in Upper Lusatia. Erosion also created the so-called Karasek Cave in this rock.
