Camping at the "Guben bathtub
On the Deulowitzer See, just outside the gates of Guben, which locals call their Gubener bathtub. A natural lake with fine sandy beach, right on the Oder-Neiße cycle path. The site remains small, within a nature and landscape protection area, with plenty of space between pitches. In the morning, the scent of pine resin hangs over the meadow before the first cyclists roll past. Poland lies beyond. The area stretches as far as the Spreewald and Schlaubetal, with the open-cast Jänschwalde mine in between.1

A narrow stream valley with old mills and forest paths, one of Brandenburg's quietest hiking areas; good for a full day on foot.
Jänschwalde open-cast mine
An active lignite mine with viewpoints over the excavators; it shows the other, bare side of the Lausitz.
