Highlight • Lake

The reed pond with its circular path and several seating areas is particularly popular with older people. Unfortunately, no boat rental and no gastronomy available - a pity!

Due to its unusual shape, the 262 meter long and 2.5 meter wide suspension cable bridge was named “The Snake”. It connects the historic city center of Frankenberg with the newly created Zschopauaue natural experience area.
