Best views trails in Lower Oder Valley National Park
The Lower Oder Valley National Park is a special highlight at any time of year, but a trip to the national park is particularly worthwhile in late summer and autumn when the cranes migrate over the area. Cyclists will also love the Oder-Neisse long-distance cycle path, which leads right through the unspoilt landscape of the Lower Oder Valley.
