Natural stage in the Bärsgrund
In the 1950s and 60s, many vacationers came to Leupoldishain. In order to offer them more than just nature, the idea was born to build a stage in the middle of the forest. On June 21, 1959, it was opened with a large festive event.
There was barely enough space. This was followed by performances by well-known artists, music groups and theater ensembles.
A few years later, mining operations ended, the rows of seats fell into disrepair and nature returned.
The Waldbühne was revived in 2011. In cooperation with the Neustadt forest district, the Leupoldishain local history association and the volunteer fire department, the natural stage has since been used for various small events, including theater performances, concerts, choir performances and environmental education programs.
The film locations for "Cloud Atlas" and "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" are not far away.
