Close to Cottbus is the Spreewald, one of Europe’s most unique natural landscapes. At the beginning of the 1990s, the area was declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The water in the area provides the animals, people and nature of the Spreewald with life. In fact, the many natural rivers (streams) and artificial canals have a total length of 970 kilometres! From Cottbus, it is definitely worth taking a trip to the Spreewald, Burg and Lübbenau.

Between Berlin and Dresden is the  Lausitzer Seenland, a spectacular water complex with more than twenty artificial lakes. It was created by the flooding of former mines.

The  Lausitzring is a motor sport facility. In addition to car racing, there are also road safety training courses as well as the Lausitzer Blade Night for inline skaters and cyclists.
