The Geopark can be explored on foot or by bike. And it's really worth it. Bathing is prohibited because of the extremely low PH value. But every lake has its own beauty.

The Geopark is therefore characterized by three special features: the beautifully landscaped compressional moraine with a naturally defined boundary, the post-mining and cultural landscape, which has arisen from 130 years of mining development. The resulting lakes are incredibly worth seeing. There are enough information boards and viewing points and benches everywhere. You should definitely make this detour from Bad Muskau.
