Directions
- The short hike leads from the city center of Oschatz to the Wüsten Schloss Osterland in the city forest. The history of the castle is not fully clarified to this day. The building is described as a "Romanesque hunting palace," was only used in the 13th century and then gradually fell into ruin. Today's ruins mainly consist of two 9.60 m high wall stumps and other wall remains. As a finale, a visit to the O-Schatz Park, a free-entry family, animal, and leisure park with a coffee pot collection that was once the largest in the world, and a beer garden or café is recommended.
