Access
The Ratzener Teiche are located directly east of the village of Lohsa in Saxony. You can park in the village and explore the area from there on foot. Press P on the map for directions to the parking.
NOTE: Unfortunately access is now severely restricted, with the paths between the ponds closed off. Some of the perimeter is accessible, but not a complete circuit.
