Solar -sanctuary of Upper Lusatia: Enigmatic Stone Calendar Discovered!

In the picturesque region of Upper Lusatia, where the mountains do not reach the 800-meter brand, Axel Bulthaupt takes a fascinating tour between Poland, the Czech Republic and Bautzen.

During his exploration, Bulthaupt also meets Peter Krowiorsch, a creative head that turns, makes music and trains karate. Krowiorsch expresses open criticism of regional development. He describes the people in Upper Lusatia as a "Granitschädel" - firm, stubborn and persistent. In another stop he meets Carola Arnold, who reinterprets the traditional Oberlausitzer kitchen and thus brings a breath of fresh air to local gastronomy.

The forests and their fate

A central part of Bulthaupts journey is also the encounter with Richard Miethe, which takes care of the forest damaged by the bark beetle and shows new opportunities for nature.

In addition, Bulth head meets a brother pair who wants to make the Upper Sorbian culture known. Their efforts to keep this unique tradition alive are further proof of the cultural commitment of the people in the region.
