Restaurant terrace café on the Groß Leuthener See, with a beautiful view.

Those who take their time will find a church in Krugau that doesn't boast, but rather carries the spirit. The massive fieldstone walls speak of centuries, wind and weather – and a village community with a permanent place. The tower with its red roof sits like a silent sentinel over the crossroads. Inside, a baroque altar awaits, adorned with more gold than one might expect – but even that doesn't seem artificial here, but rather down-to-earth. And if you're lucky, you might spot the stork perched atop the mast. It doesn't get more Brandenburg than this.

The Groß-Leuthen Church is one of Brandenburg's open churches. It opens at 10:00 a.m. It's worth taking a look inside.

Anyone cycling south from Schlepzig along the Spreewald Dam will pass through a landscape like something out of an old nature film: shallow ponds, quiet waterways, a causeway path with crunching gravel, and then – almost unexpectedly – a small jetty overlooking a body of water that takes your breath away. This is the Inselsteich (Island Pond): framed by reeds, birch trees, and pines, perhaps a swan in the distance, a gentle rippling, nothing else. This place is far removed from any rush – and it's noticeable: there are no restaurants, no benches with a view, no picnic area. But if you park your bike, pause for a moment, and watch the light play on the water, you'll understand why it's worth stopping here for a while. Tip: Early in the morning or during the golden hour, the Inselsteich seems almost magical. Then the trees and sky are reflected with a clarity otherwise only seen in Canada. And if you're lucky, you might hear the rustling of otters or the call of a crane from the nearby reeds.

Anyone cycling through the quiet heart of the biosphere reserve in the late afternoon shouldn't miss this place: The Heron Sleeping Pond isn't a spectacular photo spot, but a quiet natural theater for the patient—and perhaps one of the most magical places at dusk. Dozens of herons gather in the shallow waters, striding through the water on their long legs or simply remaining motionless. In the evening, they fly in in small squadrons, stoic and with the wide beat of their wings that cradle the sky. If you're lucky, you might see them gliding over the reed belt like white shadows from the forest at sunset. The pond is a bit off the beaten track—a short detour is worthwhile. No bench, no observation tower, no ice cream stand. Just nature. There's nothing to speak here except the birds, the wind, and the gentle rustling of the reeds. Practical tip: The path is natural, partly sandy, but easily accessible by bike. It's best to bring binoculars and time. Particularly worthwhile in autumn and spring when migratory birds rest.

The painted cloudy sky in the church, which was restored from 1979 to 1984, is surprising and beautiful. And it is apparently always open.

I drove past it... nice place to sit for a cigarette break
