A bicycle tour for families at Berzdorf Lake

The bicycle tour around Berzdorf Lake starts at the north-east beach. Here you will find a beautiful sandy beach, culinary offerings, playgrounds, a parking area and facilities. The path along the lake is splendidly constructed and ideal for cycling.

Cycle in an southward direction along Deutsch-Ossig. Here are further culinary offerings such as "Carari" or the "Milchbar" with delicious ice cream.

On the way towards the harbour you will pass the hotel "Insel der Sinne". A stop at this hotel is recommended because it has a great lake terrace with restaurant.

Now cycle around the headland where a goat enclosure is located. It is worthwhile, to dismount and watch the goats in their large outdoor enclosure. The next stop is the harbour. Here it is possible to enjoy the view of the lake.

Cycle to Hagenwerder, where you can see and visit the huge bucket wheel excavator 1452.

The bicycle tour continues towards the hotel "Gut am See", which is located on the ground of the former manor of Tauchritz. The Tauchritz moated castle, which is very recommendable for a photo stop, is also located here.

Afterwards the tour continues along the lake to "Blaue Lagune". Here you can stop for a swim, to enjoy some beach volleyball or for various water activities. Furthermore it is possible to visit the lookout tower "Neuberzdorfer Höhe".
