The geographical location of Hoyerswerda is particularly interesting: the city lies on the edge of the Lusatian Lakeland and has many water areas such as Lake Senftenberg or the Partwitz lake area. The nearby nature parks also offer visitors a glimpse of the unspoilt beauty of this region.

Sights relevant to tourism include Hoyerswerda Castle, which is now used as the town hall, and the old town with its historic buildings. It is also worth visiting the Museum of Saxon Vehicles or the Hoyerswerda Zoo.

Cultural highlights can also be found at various festivals and events such as the Braugassenfest or the "Hoywoy" town festival. Here you can listen to local music, watch traditional dances and try regional specialities.

When it comes to culinary specialities, you should definitely try Spreewald gherkins - a delicacy from the nearby region. But other dishes such as linseed oil potatoes or Soljanka are also highly recommended.

Hoyerswerda is ideal for outdoor activities - whether hiking through the nature parks or water sports on the many lakes. In winter, there are even opportunities for skiing at the Lausche ski area. The best season for outdoor activities is from spring to autumn.

If it rains, you can look around the Stadtgalerie Hoyerswerda or visit the cinema. The library and the city museum are also worth a visit.

Where is the nicest place to be in Hoyerswerda? That depends entirely on what you are looking for - whether a nature experience or historic buildings. But one thing is certain: a visit to this charming town in the district of Bautzen is definitely worthwhile!

    Mit schmalen Reifen ist es im Bereich von Zeißholz Richtung B97 etwas anstrengend, da der Boden recht sandig war. Aber alles noch fahrbar (ohne E-Bike). Die restliche Strecke ist super und befestigt. Die Wege waren überraschend leer, was für einen Sonntag sehr angenehm war.

    In der schwarzen Mühle MUSS man einfach gewesen sein, es ist wunderbar und man kann sich wirklich und wahrhaftig verzaubern lassen. Ich war begeistert.

    sehr gut ausgeschildert! Leider sind einige Streckenabschnitte sehr schlecht - viele, tiefe Löcher (Land/Forstwirtschaft bzw. Privat-PKW). Andere Abschnitte sehr gut - asphaltiert. größere Teile auf ruhigen Land-, Kreis- und Staatsstraßen.

    Schöner entspannter Rundkurs. Viel Natur, viel Ruhe. Auf dem Rückweg bißchen viel Landstraße aber weniger Verkehr. Ein Highlight war das besetzte Storchennest in Schwarzkolm. Kleiner Tipp : Den Rundkurs an der Krabatmühle anfangen und enden lassen. Gute Parkmöglichkeit. Der Abstecher nach Lauta ist eigentlich nicht notwendig.

    Sehr schöne Rundfahrt durch wunderschöne Natur. Unterwegs gab es ein paar Möglichkeiten um Rast zur Stärkung zu machen. Eine klare Empfehlung für einen Familienausflug mit dem Rad.
