Parks and gar­dens

The parks and gar­dens of the Lusa­t­ian Lake­land region are great places to take a walk and enjoy the colour­ful beauty of nature. Nochten Boul­der Park demon­strates how the rugged ter­rain left behind by the lig­nite min­ing indus­try can be suc­cess­fully recul­ti­vated. This land­scape gar­den is unique in all of Europe. More than 7,000 boul­ders are nes­tled into the land­scape of this flower-filled park, which extends over an area of approx­i­mately 20 hectares. Muskau Bend Geop­ark is the cra­dle of Lusa­tia’s lig­nite min­ing indus­try. This unique land­scape was shaped by ice age glac­i­ers. At the his­tor­i­cal East Ger­man Rose Gar­den in Forst (Lusa­tia), hor­ti­cul­ture, botan­i­cal diver­sity and land­scape archi­tec­ture come together in one beau­ti­ful dis­play.
