Ludger 🚴🌳🌲🍄🏞️🌅🔮
November 20, 2025, Sand Dune at Kiebitzsee

The lake was created by local gravel extraction starting in 1922. It covers an area of approximately 70 hectares with a maximum depth of twelve meters. The lake is surrounded by large pine and mixed forests, including the Schweinert nature reserve, which contains one of the largest Bronze Age burial mound fields in Europe.

It is located in the Kiebitz district and, together with a campsite, forms the "Kiebitz" recreational area.

The railway museum at Falkenberg/Elster station takes visitors back in history. Exhibits include model railways, signal boxes, Reichsbahn uniforms, many pictures, old carriages and a collection of historic telephones. Anyone who wants to can get a ticket from Calau to Leipzig worth 5 marks from the old ticket printer.

The station building has been deconsecrated and is now used privately. Train station between Falkenberg (Elster) and Cottbus.

I did see the classic locomotive, but unfortunately there wasn't much more there. It was pretty lonely there. I would only recommend a visit when the actual museum is open.

I was there in winter, which is a bit too cold for me. But when it's warmer, I could imagine it being nice after swimming, for example. There's also a bench where you can take off your shoes and socks.
