Gremmin lake

Five huge lignite excavators and spreaders escaped scrapping and today stand as steel giants in Ferropolis on Gremminer See, a reminder of a bygone industrial era. Children feel particularly at home at the playground in the iron city. Here they can become excavator drivers themselves and play on playground equipment modeled on the former lignite mining equipment. In the center of the peninsula, in the orangery, a restaurant provides for the physical well-being.

Ferropolis, the city of iron, is not only a living open-air museum, but with its arena on a peninsula on the lake also an impressive event backdrop. Music festivals such as Splash, Melt or Full Force have found their home in Ferropolis today. But also sports and automotive events have discovered the arena for themselves.

Imposing works of art made of steel line the path from the city balcony Gräfenhainichen in the direction of Ferropolis. Since 2004, students of the Gräfenhainichen Ferropolis School design and create these sculptures in art classes. Every year, the art path is extended by two new works.

A total of four bathing spots on the southern and western shores of Lake Gremmin can be used.
