Lakes of the region

At many lakes in Guben's surroundings, you can enjoy the silence and rest close to water and nature, and also have fun bathing and taking part in other activities. Placid natural lakes, wide woods, and heaths will make your walk or one-day stay a unique experience. Deulowitz Lake lies five kilometres from the town centre of Guben, at the foot of the Kaltenborn Mountains ? miniature mountains with valleys and rising hills. You can explore the lake, not only by swimming, but also by taking trip in a rowing or pedal boat. The Pinnow lake, situated in the Reicherskreuzer Heide landscape protection area, is ? on account of its good water quality ? the ideal place to have a rest or undertake many activities. To the north of Guben, on the Oder-Neiße cycle track lies the Bresinchen gravel pit lake, which invites us to take a break or go for a swim. Thanks to the wonderful water quality at these lakes, we find not only swimmers, but also treasures waiting for passionate anglers. Carp, pike, tench, eel, zander and perch all bite particularly easily at these lakes, and also at Schenkendöbern, Pastling, Großee and Kleinsee lakes. During mushroom and berry season the surrounding woods have much to offer pickers. Chanterelle, yellow boletus, and blueberry are only a few of the many treasures of these species-rich woods.
