Industrial culture & natural idyll in Lusatia on the lake
The private parking spot in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf combines industrial heritage and natural idyll in the Lower Lusatia region. Your motorhome is parked on the grounds of the visitor mine with the F60 conveyor bridge – the "reclining Eiffel Tower" – as a backdrop, which you can explore on a guided tour. All around, a landscape of lakes created by flooded open-pit mines stretches out – it's just a short walk to the beach at Bergheider See. Forests and waterways invite you to explore. You can reach Dresden with the Fürstenzug in about 57 kilometers.1
What Hinterland writes
„Everyone knows the Spreewald. Dresden too. But Lower Lusatia, right in between, is still largely undiscovered territory. From the mid-19th century onwards, lignite was mined here. In 1992, that came to an end.“

Sights in the area1
Bergheider See
A flooded former lignite pit, now a bathing lake with a beach at the forest edge. A short walk from the pitch to the water, with cycling trails all around.
Spreewald
The maze of small channels northwest of Lusatia, known for punt tours and pickles; a full day on the water is worth the trip.
Dresden
Around 57 km away, with the Fürstenzug tiled mural and the Blue Wonder bridge over the Elbe; the culture trip of the area.
Doberlug Palace
A Renaissance palace in Lower Lusatia with a wide courtyard and museum; a quiet outing when the weather is better spent indoors.
