Excursion

Please choose one of two excursions in the registration form:

Shii-take

We will visit Hoyerswerda, about 25 km east of Senftenberg. There INTEGRA GmbH was founded in 2004 to produce Shii-take fruiting bodies. Today about ten employees produce this aromatic mushroom in the range of tonnes per month.

The chief executive officer will show us the cultivation and the fructification rooms. We will learn how the second fructification is induced, how the fungi are harvested further processed and sold.

Start: Saturday, October 2nd, 2010, 1.30 p.m. by bus at Hochschule Lausitz (FH)

Return:  not later than 6 p.m.

Participation fee: We will calculate the costs as soon as we know how many people will attend. We expect for the bus about 20 EURO per participant. 

Wild life

Our trip takes us to Naturparadies Grünhaus, a former brown coal mining area, which is nowadays a nature conservation area in the ownership of the NABU-Stiftung Nationales Naturerbe. The 20 km² large region shows a  bizarre and varied landscape. There are steppe- and desert-like areas, as well as lakes and young woods. It serves as habitat for many  specialized animal and plant species, a lot of them endangered. In autumn Naturparadies Grünhaus becomes a resting place for several hundreds of cranes on their way south.

We will walk through Naturparadies Grünhaus (about 4 km) and try to take a look at them when they show up before sunset.

For this trip you need solid shoes and if necessary rainwear.

Start: Saturday, October 2nd, 2010, 3 p.m. by bus at Hochschule Lausitz (FH)

Return:  not later than 8 p.m.

Participation fee: We will calculate the costs as soon as we know how many people will attend. Including bus transfer and entrance fee we expect  between 15 and 25 EURO per participant.
