May 8, 2025,Der Cottbuser Ostsee. 🚴🏾‍♂️🚴🏾‍♂️Umrundung

The Cottbus Baltic Sea.

Back then, it was 2018. We were on a private tour of the entire area with a former open-cast lignite mine miner. It was overwhelming to see it all and to process his stories about everything that had happened.

Now, seven years later, we're cycling around the lake 🚴🏾‍♂️🚴🏾‍♂️.

The route isn't fully open yet, one section is only for all-rounders who can carry their bikes over their heads, but when it's all finished it will be beautiful.

After 30 years of coal mining, the Cottbus Baltic Sea was created from a former open-cast mine.
Flooding began in April 2019 using water from the Spree River.
This transformed the smallest active open-cast mine in Lusatia into Brandenburg's largest inland body of water.

Well, quite nice, but a lot of sand and gravel. Often there are also construction sites that you have to avoid or ignore and then use difficult paths.

There are really nicer areas and tours.

November 5, 2024,Um den Ostsee

We start in Cottbus, ride a bit along the Spree cycle path and then turn towards Peitz to the Baltic Sea.
After a short stop at the inlet, we start to circle the lake. Sometimes we ride (hopefully always legally) on farm roads, sometimes we take the road and sometimes we can use a cycle path. It's a shame that …

The "Cottbus East Lake" is the largest artificial body of water in Germany, covering 1900 hectares. It is expected to reach its maximum capacity with Spree River water by the end of 2024. A very pleasant, smooth cycle path leads from the starting point in Cottbus city center, partly along the Spree River, then along the dike, and through colorful …

August 12, 2023,Rundtour Cottbusser Ostsee - ab Bhf. Cottbus

A really beautiful tour through pure nature...on good paths, in the best weather and there were hardly any people on the road. It was perfect...
Just a pity, I had missed the descent to the Peitz pond landscape :-(
I also really liked Cottbus... it's definitely worth a visit!
Getting there by train also worked well! :-)
