General presentation
Spree-Neisse et Basse-Lusace
Sorbian and border region of forests, landscaped parks, industrial cities converted and quiet villages.
The discovery of Spree-Neisse and Basse-Lusace is based around Cottbus, Branitzer Park and Spremberg. The stay thus alternates between the countryside, forests, heritage and natural areas, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: discreet destination and very etal landscape. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Cottbus
Cottbus mixes urban centre, industrial traces and Sorbian culture in a city of Lusace less smooth than it seems. Between squares, restored facades and access to parks, the visit is more likely to follow contrasts rather than just one axis, especially at the end of the day when the streets are revived.
Place
Branitzer Park
Branitzer Park It consists of a very worked landscape where the aisles, the water bodies and the pyramids of earth play with visual surprise. You walk there as in a decor designed in sequences, with sudden openings to the castle, isolated trees and reflections.
Place
Spremberg
Spremberg stands on the Spree, in a Lusace marked by rivers, green spaces and industrial traces. The centre remains modest, but the banks, bridges and walks around the water give a useful stopover to feel the passage between town, countryside and post-minier landscape.
