Areas of Interest
6 km north of Cottbus is small village Lakoma. It is located on small interesting fishlakes, where I saw e.g. 2 Osprey. Further north you can drive between lakes to Peitz. On the east of the lakes is power station Peitz with a high chimney. There are lots of fish in the lakes, it is easy to see them.
Access and Facilities
If you cycle through Cottbus is possible on the river, almost without crossing streets. You just feel like in the park.
