On foot to Lake Berzdorf, Görlitz

From the train station in Görlitz, walk along Kunnerwitzer Straße to Sechstädteplatz and then continue along Arndtstraße to Kreuzkirchenpark, where it is worth taking a short break and playing in the playground. The path then takes you through the "Pomologischer Garten" e.V. (Pomological Gardens) gardening area and straight on through the gardening area to Loenschen Park. The shorter path now turns left to the tunnel underpass after the Weinhübel district. Walk along the railroad embankment until you reach Weinhübler Straße (main road). Cross the road and follow the road to the lake. Walk along the lake for the last stretch to the north-east beach.

If you don't want to walk back, you can use public transport from the north-east beach (from May to mid-October). Take the e-bus to Weinhübel and change there to streetcar line 1, which goes to Görlitz station. For more information, visit: https://www.goerlitztakt.de/de/
