Discover the region
For anyone interested in history, there are many sights here, such as Hartenstein Castle or the Museum of the Town's History. A walk through the old town is also worthwhile due to the architectural diversity.
Cultural highlights include the "Bürgergarten" cultural centre, which regularly offers concerts, theatre performances and other events. Another highlight is the annual town festival in summer, where visitors can listen to music while enjoying local culinary specialities.
The region around Borna is perfect for hiking or cycling - especially in spring and summer when everything is in bloom or in autumn when the leaves turn colourful. Popular places for this are, for example, the Agra Park or Lake Cospuden.
If it rains, you can always take a trip to the "Riff" swimming pool or visit one of the many museums, such as the German Book and Script Museum in Leipzig (20 minutes away).
Culinary specialities include typical dishes such as Leipziger Allerlei or Sauerbraten, which you can enjoy in many restaurants in the city. Beer lovers will also get their money's worth here - the local brewery "Braumanufaktur Borna" offers guided tours and tastings.
Whether you want to spend an active holiday or just want to relax, Borna is definitely worth a trip!
