Skating at Lake Spremberger See

The gentle and slightly hilly landscape of Lower Lusatia with its many lakes is ideal for skating. The area around Lake Senftenberger See is popular with holidaymakers. The skating track extends almost all the way around the lake and is both well developed and asphalted. It leads along the Spremberg Dam, the Großer Heide and the Bühlower Heide heathlands and through pine forests with unique views of the lake.
