Hike around Schleife an Lake Halbendorf
Actively on the trail of culture and nature
The tour starts in the traditional Sorbian town of Schleife. If you are interested in Sorbian history and customs, you can visit the Sorbian Cultural Centre and learn more about its special features and uniqueness.
Following the "yellow line" out of the village, the path leads to the nature trail Borstel-Weg. The path, created by children for children, is a highlight especially for the younger ones. A riddle postcard can be picked up at the cultural centre at the beginning of the trail, which promises a surprise if the correct solution is found. The mascot hedgehog Borstel and the various stations are then followed to Halbendorfer See. This is where the active part of the trail begins. Around the lake there is a trim trail with a total of 20 different stations where you can exercise. Past the wakeboard and water-ski facility "Wake and Beach", the trail leads back to Schleife following the "blue line" and Igel Borstel.
Length: 9.5 km (duration: approx. 3 hours)
Start/finish: car park in front of the Schleife Sorbian Cultural Centre, Friedenstraße 65, 02959 Schleife
