Lake Scheibe-See features a diverse route, making it especially well-suited to sporty cyclists. As some sections of the path include drops and quite tight curves, this lake circuit around Lake Scheibe-See is considered the most challenging in the Lusatian Lake District. The overgrown sand dunes in the southern part of the route stand out in particular.
