Ringenhain is a district of the Steinigtwolmsdorf community in Upper Lusatia in Saxony . The townscape is characterized by 20 half-timbered houses, including the smallest half-timbered house in Upper Lusatia.
geography
The place is on the B 98 between Steinigtwolmsdorf and Neukirch / Lausitz and stretches on both sides of the river Wesenitz , which rises at Valtenberg , flows through Ringenhain, Neukirch / Lausitz and Bischofswerda and flows into the Elbe at Heidenau . The river Wesenitz once formed the border between the Meißner and Lusatian sides of the town. Shortly after the First World War , the division was eliminated. Today one speaks colloquially of the "village" in the valley of the Wesenitz and of the area of the "settlement" on the mountain near the forest.
A few kilometers south of Ringenhain, behind Steinigtwolmsdorf, is the border with the Czech Republic , where there is a footpath and bike path to the village Severní , which is the northernmost place in the Czech Republic. Near the Waldhaus guest house on the road between Steinigtwolmsdorf and Neustadt in Saxony , on the Czech side, there is boundary stone No. 2/40, which marks the northernmost point of the Czech Republic.
