Cycling

The bike tour around Lake Geierswalde is full of discoveries. There are not only boats floating on the lake, but also floating holiday homes that you can rent.

On the bike tour you will also cross three canals: The Koschen Canal is the first navigable waterway in the Lusatian Lake District and connects Lake Geierswalde with Lake Senftenberg. On the banks of the Sorno Canal is the "Rostiger Nagel" observation tower, a landmark of the region. The third canal is the Barbara Canal, which connects Lake Partwitz with Lake Geierswalde.

This tour is suitable for people with reduced mobility and is therefore suitable for handbikes.

Highlight • Structure

Geierswalder See and the floating houses, worth seeing.
I was already there, there were no floating houses yet. Interesting development.

🔁 Geierswalder See with landmark / Rusty Nail

A break in the Lusatian Lake District ☀️🚐🚴‍♀️🚴😊👌
Why go far away...sometimes beauty is so close. From a former open-cast mining area to Europe's largest artificial water landscape with lakes, canals, marinas...and many great bike paths.

Just no "network" at the campsite 😅 - the documentation is now three days late.
