The best MTB trails around Raguhn-Jeßnitz

The Pulverhäuschen is a historic building that was used in earlier times for storing explosives. The explosives stored there were used to remove ice jams or ice barriers on the Mulde. The building is made of irregular rubble masonry and is covered by a pointed barrel vault. The cornerstones at the building corners, the belt course at the base, the projecting eaves, and the two-rowed coverings are made of red bricks. The outer surface of the barrel vault is plastered. The Pulverhäuschen shows numerous damages, including defects in the masonry, damaged or improperly renewed joints, crumbling plaster on the barrel vault, and a clearly visible subsidence due to insufficient foundation.

A very beautiful nudist beach. Easily accessible by bike. Parking is within a 100-meter walk.

View over the lake to Sollnitz with the church in the background

You can always find a nice place to take a break by the beach/water and you can also cool off here on hot days.

Small historic building 👍

And so, only groups go down to the operating room. It's 7.5 meters below the water level of the Mulde, explains Martin Hilgert, the plant's technical director. That seems to be the cue for Karsten, as he looks up skeptically. But his attention is already drawn to two colorfully designed giant pipes. These turbines are capable of generating around 4.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year. That's enough to supply approximately 1,800 households for a year, according to Hilgert. It's not easy for him, as he has to use his voice to force the noise of the machines down here. 20 cubic meters of water flow through each turbine per second. Normally. Now, however, the power is throttled; the water level in the Mulde is low, explains the expert. "Two to three cubic meters of water are needed as a minimum for energy generation. And then it all depends on the gradient. Without that, it wouldn't work; mathematicians knew that a thousand years ago." So, during floods, nothing works.

Great view from the bridge to the Mulde

The Mulde, also known as the United Mulde or Vereinigte Mulde, is a left, non-navigable tributary of the Elbe. It is formed southeast of Leipzig near Sermuth (Saxony) by the union of two large source rivers, the longer Zwickauer Mulde and the Freiberger Mulde, which has a larger discharge and drains a larger catchment area. The river's catchment area covers large parts of Saxony and in particular the vast majority of the northern slopes of the Ore Mountains. With a water flow of almost 73 m³/s at the mouth[8], it is the fourth largest tributary of the Elbe. The old form of the Mulde's name, Milda, is translated by name researchers as the water-rich one.[9] The word component Mel, with reference to grinding, is sometimes associated with the name in view of the large number of mills that used to operate on the river, which ignores the fact that river names represent the oldest, often Slavic or Celtic, geographical name layer.
