Garsebacher Switzerland
The Garsebacher Schweiz and the Götterfelsen are natural monuments in the Triebischtäler landscape protection area in the Meißen district in Saxony. You are on the left side of the Triebisch between the confluence of the Kleine Triebisch and the urban area of Meißen . The approximately three and a half kilometers long corridor between Korbitz and Garsebach is considered to be the largest Pechstein deposit on earth.
Garsebacher Switzerland
The rocky cliffs of Garsebach Switzerland are located in the Garsebach district of the Klipphausen community between the houses of Obergarsebach and the Fichtenmühle. They consist of green Pechstein and Felsite . In the past there was a quarry at the Fichtenmühle, where the broken volcanic glass ( obsidian ) was used as a raw material for the production of bottle glass . Coordinates: 51 ° 7 ′ 59 ″ N , 13 ° 26 ′ 40 ″ E
Rock of gods
The Götterfelsen is located a little downstream between the Meissen districts of Dobritz and Buschbad . It rises 60 m above the Triebisch valley and offers a good view to the southwest of the Meissen highlands . The rock consists of Pechstein , who in crevices to Felsite is smashed. Coordinates: 51 ° 8 ′ 2 ″ N , 13 ° 27 ′ 13 ″ E
On the rock there is an iron summit cross erected in 1843, which reminds of the founding of the St. Afra State School with Latin inscriptions .
High zeal
To the north of the Götterfelsen there is also to the left of the river between the Buschbad and Triebischtal Hohe Eifer (214 m above sea level). To the east, the Hohe Eifer falls over a cliff 80 meters to the bottom of the Triebisch. In this area there is an approximately 300 meter wide pitchstone zone with red-brown and purple biotite and plagioclase inclusions. The valley of a brook joins to the north . Coordinates: 51 ° 8 ′ 13 ″ N , 13 ° 27 ′ 11 ″ E
Opposite the Buschbad are the remains of several quarries on the steep slope.

Wall system Hohe Eifer
On the steep knoll, which is lined with mixed forest, there are remains of an ancient rampart. The ground monument has an area of 100 × 120 meters and is a site of ceramics from the Lusatian culture and the High Middle Ages . Ursinus (1788) and, building on this, Karl Benjamin Preusker (1844) suspected the Bohemian castle Gvozdec :
- The first Guozdek castle, built near Meißen by the Bohemian Duke Wratislaw , is believed to be at the peak of the high zeal, the second of the same name in 1088 on the castle hill in Keilbusch ; of both castles, which were destroyed soon afterwards, no remains have been preserved, especially since they could only be light, fleeting structures.
According to the current ruling doctrine (2018), Gvozdec would be the Niederwartha castle ramparts . This opinion is not entirely certain either. What is certain is that the oppidum Gvozdec was called castrum prope urbem Missen (castle near the city of Meißen).
