Oelsnitz / Erzgeb has been located since July 12, 2007. officially back at the equator. Don't you think so? But that's how it is. Well, at least it was like that 310 million years ago. The equator line ran through our part of Europe. How do you know? There is evidence that coal deposits only formed at the equator. This is how the Lugau-Oelsnitzer coal field came into being in the area of an equatorial mountain range.

Since you don't get to stand at the center of the Earth every day, it's worth stopping there... Overall, a very beautiful area, with a coffee bar at the State Garden Show Park. A view of the Ore Mountains is also included...

Millions of years ago, the territory of today's Oelsnitz was on the equator.
