Niesky - a model town for modern timber house construction
Did you know that industrialized wooden house construction originated in the small town of Niesky and from there conquered the world?
You can experience a little journey into bygone regions with a visit to Niesky. It is worth taking a look at the Konrad-Wachsmann-Haus there. This house is reminiscent of the famous architect Konrad Wachsmann and his modern design language, which is an outstanding example of industrialized timber house construction. The architect designed and lived in the house himself. It was later extensively renovated and now opens its doors to visitors interested in design. Almost 100 other wooden houses from the 1920s and 30s have been preserved in Niesky to this day.
The Lusatian Neisseland
Lusatian Neisseland is one of the youngest holiday regions in Upper Lusatia and is therefore still an insider tip. The multifaceted stretch of land extends along the eponymous Neisse between the UNESCO World Heritage Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau and the Berzdorf Lake near Görlitz and offers many opportunities for unforgettable holiday experiences.
A visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau is a must. Pückler's work can be explored over a total of 50 kilometers. The constantly changing landscapes are fascinating and reflect the special features of this park. Visitors can stroll on the ground of two states, because since the border was drawn in 1945 around two thirds of the park has been on Polish territory. A special tip is a trip on the Muskau Forest Railway, an old industrial railway. This connects the park in Bad Muskau with the azalea and rhododendron park in Kromlau.
In the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Heath and Pond Landscape, visitors come very close to nature. The region of 1,000 ponds with its special flora and fauna can be discovered on beautiful bike paths or interesting educational trails. The Global UNESCO Geopark Muskau Arches is no less interesting. The landscape created in the last Ice Age runs across the border from Brandenburg via Saxony to Poland and is cut in the middle by the Neisse. The Geopark with its colorful lakes and the still visible folds of the landscape can be experienced particularly well during a guided tour.
Cyclists get their money's worth in Neisseland. The entire region can be explored along a well-developed network of cycle paths and various round trips. The Neißeland tour, the frog cycle path, the wolf cycle path or the Oder-Neisse cycle path are particularly recommended.
In the Königshain Mountains and on the Rotstein, it is worth swapping your bike for hiking boots to experience the region on foot. Action fans will be delighted by the various water sports on the Halbendorfer See, the Quitzdorf Reservoir, the Bärwalder See and the Berzdorfer See near Görlitz. Boat tours on the wild and romantic Neisse are particularly popular with young and old. The latter is great for a family outing. Alternatively, families can experience real adventures in the "Secret World of Turisede", immerse themselves in the Krauschwitz Adventure World or watch the animals in the zoos.
The Neisseland is a special kind of pleasure for young and old. Embark on a journey of discovery through the unspoilt nature, past places steeped in history and cultural highlights.
Did you know that Neisseland has three UNESCO titles? In addition to the German-Polish UNESCO World Heritage Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau, you can also visit the UNESCO Geopark Muskau Arch and the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Heath and Pond Landscape in Neisseland.
