Lusatia Lusatia begins south-east of Berlin. This region is characterized by heathland, forests, rivers and lakes - the Spreewald is known nationally. The leisure activities marked in the map section and described in more detail in the information section are correspondingly close to nature: forest pools, riding stables, canoe rentals, animal parks, open-air museums. Those interested in culture will get their money's worth in cities such as Cottbus, Weisswasser or Senftleben: castles, churches and museums await visitors. Don't forget: a visit to the Welzow lignite mining area.
