Living traditions
In Lusatia, we are particularly proud of the traditions and customs that have been with us for a long time and are still an integral part of everyday life today. Not only Sorbian traditions and festivals, such as the artistic decoration of Easter eggs or "Zampern", are alive in people's everyday lives. Traditional crafts, including artistic blue printing or the impressive Herrnhut stars, are also cultivated and are internationally renowned. Even gourmets get their money's worth in Lusatia. The trademarked "Lusatian fish" is farmed in countless ponds. The region is one of the largest and most traditional inland fishing areas in Germany. Every autumn, the Lusatian Fish Weeks delight visitors with delicious regional fish specialties.
