The path to Löbnitz runs on meadow paths very close to the river. Small forest sections are crossed, and until Reibitz, the path goes along the forest edge. Then you reach the Seelhausener Lake via field and forest paths. At this point, hikers are offered a wonderful view. Passing a stud farm, you approach the town center and the church, which is famous for its ceiling made of coffered panels with biblical images and floral motifs. In Luther’s time, the route from Wittenberg to Leipzig went via Kemberg and Löbnitz. The manor owner Ernst von Schönfeldt was friendly with Luther.
