ヴァイスカイセルの湖・トップ20

Anyone cycling through Bad Muskau and wondering whether landscape can be art should simply dismount. Because Muskau Park isn't a green space; it's a poem in trees, paths, and sightlines. Designed by the eccentric Prince Pückler, who wanted to impress with gardens more than with wars, it is now rightfully a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And you notice this with every pedal stroke. One-third of the park lies in Germany, two-thirds in Poland – a European masterpiece of garden design that knows no boundaries except those of good taste. There are no "signs with arrows" here, but rather sightlines that guide you. You cycle past ancient oaks, over gentle bridges, through light avenues. And then, suddenly, it appears: the New Palace. So red, so magnificent, so playfully baroque that you'd think a piece of cotton candy had become a listed building. Behind the palace, the building is reflected in the water like an embarrassed self-portrait, framed by flowers, bushes, and the stories of those who once strolled here – and now picnic. Those seeking open spaces will find it. Those seeking peace and quiet will too. And those who simply want to cycle have rarely had a more beautiful ride. The Prince Pückler Park is not a place you "visit" – you encounter it. And sometimes, when the light is right and the palace glows, you also encounter yourself a little bit anew.

Beautiful stretch of sandy beach on Lake Bärwalder.

These lakes are post-mining landscape. So not a naturally created landscape, but only created by human activity. The mining of the lignite seams left depressions that filled with water over time after the open-cast mines were abandoned and now form a small lake district in the Moscow fold.

Not a UNESCO World Heritage Site for nothing! One third of the park on the German side, two thirds of the park on the Polish side. The extensive landscape park has a great stock of trees and impresses with generous visual axes. The New Castle of Prince Pückler has been wonderfully restored and shines from afar.

great 👍

Nice big park on both sides of the border. In the Polish part, the signage could be better. Due to the size, a bicycle makes sense, at least if you want to visit both sides.

The Rakotzbrücke has finally been completely renovated and has been accessible again since mid-July 2021. The bridge with the distinctive arch attracts photographers from all over the world. After the restoration of the ensemble in Kromlau, the community now has one problem child less.

The large park is a great destination
