Third stage "Lower Lusa­t­ian Min­ing Tour": Calau – Vetschau

This stage of the Lower Lusa­tia Min­ing Tour goes to the Spree­wald Bios­phere Reserve. We rec­om­mend vis­it­ing the Spree­wald Museum in Lübbe­nau, the Slaven­burg in Rad­dusch and the White Stork Cen­tre in Vetschau.
To start with, you cycle through the Lower Lusa­t­ian Ridge Nature Park, where you will find the his­toric town of Fürstlich Drehna with its moated cas­tle. Mean­while, the nature park itself enables vis­i­tors to expe­ri­ence a land­scape trans­for­ma­tion: after decades of lig­nite min­ing, new lakes have formed.
