Fishlakes 15 km north of Cottbus. This fishlake area is the biggest in Germany ( 10 qkm ). Cottbus is located on river Spree. If You cycle threw Cottbus is possible on the river, almost without crossing streets. You just feel like in the parc.
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 smoke pipe. There are lots of fish in the lakes, it is easy to see them.
