Rent a holiday home in Lusatia for a revitalizing holiday
Book a holiday apartment, holiday rental or holiday home in Lusatia, a region located in the east of Germany undergoing a massive transformation from its industrial past. Once a major centre of European mining, the landscape of Lower Lusatia was scarred by industry in contrast to the ancient woodland of Upper Lusatia. Today visitors to any part of the region will find holiday rentals in lakeside towns set in a beautiful landscape within reach of extensive outdoor recreational activities.
A region divided
Situated by on shore of Lake Altdoebern, Pritzen is a Lower Lusatian success story. Dozens of beautiful, Medieval villages were bulldozed to make way for mines as Lusatia's mining industry expanded but stubborn Pritzen survived, becoming a comforting vestige of the past. Pritzen offers a glimpse of the region before its industrial boom and transformation, its church steeple dates back to 1485 and public art installations incorporate disused mining machinery from the town's more recent past. Rent a holiday house or holiday apartment in Cottbus, a vibrant student city full of fantastic shopping opportunities, cafes and bars, for a holiday rental mixing modern metropolitan living with history. A holiday home in Cottbus also places you within easy reach of the historic Branitz Park, 19th-century gardens featuring an impressive Baroque castle. Upper Lusatia, by way of contrast, is the location of a UNESCO Biosphere of ancient woodland traversed by a network of small canals which can be explored by boat from small towns and villages in the vicinity of Geierswalde.
Enjoy outdoor activities with a holiday home in Lusatia
After German reunification, Lusatia's mining industry was shut down and its huge coal pits left empty but rather than being a burden these became a golden opportunity, as the empty pits were filled in to make several huge lakes. Renting a holiday house in Weißenberg is the perfect way to enjoy this triumphant rejuvenation project and explore the Lusatian Lake District with its pond-like lakes which are ideal for water skiing, swimming and sailing in the summer.
