Barbarakanal – Navigable canal between Geierswalder See and Partwitzer See

Highlight • River

Canal connection between the Geierswalder and Partwitzer lakes. This was the first canal connection in the Lusatian Lake District.

Lake Sedlitz

Highlight • Lake

Again and again there is a beautiful view of the lake from the bike path. Here there is an "inlet" on the north bank. Entering the bank area is prohibited because of the "risk of the slope slipping off".

Ilse Canal Tunnel

Highlight • Bridge

When everything is ready, there are great opportunities to explore the Lusatian lake landscape.
The bridge itself is not closed, but the closure for the north bank begins immediately behind, the diversion is well signposted, but boring.
It will take a long time until the Sedlitz Lake is full, there is still at least 6 m missing, as long as there is no water in the canal.

Großräschen Pier

Highlight • Bridge

The Großräschener See is one of ten lakes in the heart of the Lusatian Lakeland that will be connected with each other via canals in the future. With the IBA terraces and the Seehotel, the development of tourism on Großräschener See began years ago. The Großräschener See has been flooded since 2007 and reached its final level in 2018. The water has filled the basin in the newly built harbor, the pier at the IBA terraces, which were awarded the Brandenburg Architecture Prize, is now in the water. The city harbor in Großräschen was built while still dry. From 2021, guests can expect a port with around 130 boat berths, a harbor promenade and all the important services for water sports enthusiasts. Boat tours are already possible. The Ilse Canal to the neighboring Sedlitz Lake was completed in 2014. This can only be used on the waterway when the Sedlitz Lake has also reached its final water level. The footpath and bike path through the ship tunnel are free. The Großräschener See was created by flooding the former Meuro opencast mine.

Reppist Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Reppister Höhe you have a good view of the surrounding area below.
At the viewing point there are steles made of Corten steel with various place names. These places had to make way for open-cast lignite mining and this is how they are remembered.
Two of the towns were first mentioned in 1370 and then sacrificed to open-cast mining in 1986/87.
On the Reppister Höhe you can also find some relics of the Meuro open-cast mine.

Here, the cyclist's heart beats faster. The bike paths and bike roads here are a dream.

A very, very beautiful area, the weather was fine. The good thing was it wasn't overcrowded. Fortunately ☺️
