Tips from the Community
Lake Africa, or the "Łuska C" pit. Its current name comes from the reservoir's shape, which resembles the African continent. It was created by filling the open-pit excavation of the post-war "Przyjaźń Narodów – Szyb Babina" mine with rainwater and partially underground water. The lake covers over 20 hectares, and its maximum depth is 24 meters. A massive observation tower and several terraces were built on its shore for observation.

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.
