Through Krabat's Sorbian homeland

Along the way, you will get to know Sorbian culture and cuisine. Museums and local history rooms along the route provide an authentic picture of the life of earlier generations and convey interesting information about customs, traditions, and costumes. Craftsmen offer insights into their work, and memorials refer to Sorbian personalities. The probably best-known figure in the treasure trove of legends is Krabat, the good Sorbian sorcerer. He is said to have learned his craft in the Black Mill, today's Experience Farm Krabat Mill. Here at the original location in Schwarzkollm, the legend of Krabat comes alive again. On the mill grounds, there is a demonstration workshop and a guesthouse. Fantastically good buttermilk pancakes and black ice cream are two more good reasons to visit. Before heading to Hoyerswerda, cyclists reach the Pattoka timber-framed barn in Bergen, which houses an exhibition on Sorbian customs. The building was constructed in 1768 in typical Lusatian log house style.
