Holidays in the Lusatia region: live like a prince
You have the choice: you can stay in the largest castle in Upper Lusatia, enjoy the atmosphere of a historic inn, or live in a patrician house from the 16th century. Relax in the pool or sauna, and let the head chef spoil you with regional specialities. However pleasant life may be in your hotel in Lusatia, you should not miss the attractions and sights of this exciting region. Lusatia is a varied landscape: Lower Lusatia is characterised by moors and forests, while Upper Lusatia is mountainous and reaches almost 800 metres in the rocky Zittau Mountains.
Cycle paths, waterways and a world-famous park
A dense network of cycle paths links natural and cultural highlights, such as the Lower Lusatia mining tour or the Elster cycle route, which passes bathing lakes and heath landscapes. Take to the water - for example by canoe through the Spreewald or the Upper Lusatia heath and pond landscape. Water also plays the leading role in an ambitious project that is transforming former open-cast mining areas into recreational spaces: between Berlin and Dresden, Europe’s largest man-made water landscape is being created: the Lusatian Lakeland. You can also admire and explore a classic masterpiece of landscape architecture in Upper Lusatia - the park in Bad Muskau created by Prince Pückler in the mid-19th century. The vast grounds and the prince’s castle are now a World Heritage Site. Worth seeing are the cities of Görlitz with its magnificent, restored town houses, Bautzen (old town) and Zittau in the tri-border area of Germany-Poland-Czech Republic. Whatever you have planned for your holiday: why not book your hotel in Lusatia first.
