リーベローゼの湖・トップ20

After a hike around Lake Wirchensee or as a break on a bike ride through the Schlaubetal valley, a visit to the Waldseehotel Wirchensee is worthwhile. The terrace offers a magnificent view of the lake.

Lake Garkoschke is a quiet stroke of geological and industrial history. Where families splash around today and cyclists dip their weary legs in the water, there was once a blown-in sand dune from the last Ice Age. The wind carried the fine sand from the Lieberoser Heide and deposited it here – in the heart of Lusatia. Much later, in the 1970s, humans intervened again: stable building ground was needed for the new Peitz-West development, and the sand came – how convenient – from the old dune. What remained was a pit that filled with water and became a lake. What today appears to be a natural idyll is man-made – but with respect for the landscape. Lake Garkoschke demonstrates how industrial intervention can become a place of relaxation. Birch trees, alders, and reeds now grow along the shore, and the sandy beach offers enough space for bathers, cyclists, and quiet connoisseurs.

Basically, the hotel is beautifully situated in the Schlaubetal.

Very beautifully located hotel with restaurant.

Beautiful swimming lake with a large sandy beach.

The WaldSeehotel Wirchensee is picturesquely located on an almost island between Stubbensee and Wirchensee. Beautiful. You can stop here for a break or – if you are on a multi-day hike – spend the night. You can find further information and opening times here: https://hotel-wirchensee.de/.
