Cycling in the Lusatian Lakeland

From open-cast mining to lakeland paradise – the Lusatian Lakeland is no ordinary setting for a cycle tour. The landscape is undergoing a spectacular transformation, from coal seams to idyllic expanses of water with marinas and bright sandy beaches. This is a unique process, something you don’t get the chance to witness very often. And it’s what makes this region a very special location for a cycling holiday or a bike tour.

The Lusatian Lakeland has suitable routes and facilities for all types of touring cyclist, whether you’re on a long-distance cycling tour, a fixed-base tour or just on a day trip.
