General presentation
Haute-Lusace et Görlitz
Is Saxon with Polish and Czech borders, between the city of cinema, mining lakes, sorabe villages and soft mountains.
The discovery of Haute-Lusace and Görlitz revolves around Görlitz, Zittau and Muskauer Park. The stay thus alternates between urban life, shores and lakes, heritage and the countryside, 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: highly dispersed sites and less known region. 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
Görlitz
Görlitz is seduced by an architecture that gradually reveals itself, from the main urban perspective to the details of stone and facades. Ideal for a moving tour, the city gains to be travelled by observing the changes in light between central and margins.
Place
Zittau
Zittau keeps the atmosphere of a city of Haute-Lusace situated near the Czech and Polish borders, with colorful facades, regular squares and the old layout of its ramparts. His interest is also due to the famous Lenten canvases, rare and meticulous, which give the visit an unexpected depth.
Place
Muskauer Park
The Muskauer Park reads itself as a staging of perspectives, with high points and vegetal chains that reveal themselves at every detour. A good time is to walk more slowly through the major aisles and then to go back to a secondary passage to see the whole.
Place
Oybin
Oybin makes a strong impression by its ability to condensate mountain and built in a single panorama. The place becomes talking when you explore its path links, framed views and visual air quality that varies along the route.
