[edit] 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 smoke pipe. There are lots of fish in the lakes, it is easy to see them.

[edit] Access and Facilities

If you cycle through Cottbus is possible on the river, almost without crossing streets. You just feel like in the park.
