Stage 5 of the Fürst Pückler Trail.
The fifth day's stage of the Fürst Pückler Trail from Doberlug-Kirchhain to Großräschen is all about the former open-cast lignite mine and the associated renaturalisation. In Lichterfeld, for example, you can discover the visitor mine with its F60 overburden conveyor bridge. In Großräschen, today's stage destination, on the other hand, the controlled flooding of the remaining hole of the Meuro open-cast mine has already created a lake covering 790 hectares. Tourism development began here years ago and cyclists can discover the IBA Terraces with the Lusatian Lakeland Visitor Centre, the lakeside hotel or the vineyard planted in 2012 with interesting new varieties.
Highlights:
- Lichterfeld: Visitor mine, Bergheider See lake
- Sallgast: Sallgast Castle and castle park
- Großräschen: Großräschen lake, IBA terraces, vineyard
