Dis­cov­er­ing nature

The Lusa­t­ian Lake­land com­prises a wide vari­ety of dif­fer­ent nat­ural land­scapes. These are best explored by vis­it­ing the region’s unique parks and gar­dens or par­tic­i­pat­ing in a guided tour of the Lusa­t­ian Lake­land nature con­ser­va­tion pro­ject.

In this region, a land­scape under­go­ing a trans­for­ma­tion can be expe­ri­enced in a relaxed man­ner. The Ger­man Rose Gar­den in Forst (Lusa­tia) is the per­fect place for a peace­ful stroll amid nearly 1,000 vari­eties of bloom­ing roses. At Nochten Boul­der Park, you can feast your eyes on an abun­dance of heathers in all colours and, above all, an impres­sive dis­play of more than 7,000 ice age boul­ders from Scan­di­navia. A visit to one of the region’s many view­points and land­marks offers more panoramic views of the land­scape and lakes. For those trav­el­ling with chil­dren, a trip to Hoy­er­swerda zoo or Sen­ften­berg wildlife park could be a fun way to spend a day out­doors in the Lusa­t­ian Lake­land.
