Maps and trails
Plessa is located in the south of Brandenburg and is surrounded by picturesque landscapes such as forests, lakes and rivers. The town itself has left behind a long history as a coal mining region and today offers unique opportunities for outdoor activities.

One highlight of the region is the numerous cycle paths along the Schwarze Elster river or through the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park. The best time of year for this is spring to autumn.

Culture enthusiasts should definitely visit Plessa Castle - an impressive baroque building with an interesting exhibition on regional history. Another must is the F60 mining museum in Lichterfeld-Schacksdorf - here you can take a walk on the former open-cast mining scaffolding or take a ride on the skywalk.

If it rains you can go to the "Spreewelten" leisure pool in Lübbenau (approx. 30 minutes away), where you can enjoy various saunas or have water fun.

In terms of culinary delights you should not miss trying regional specialities: Spreewald gherkins, linseed oil from Mühlberg or even carp from local waters taste simply delicious!

Annual events in Plessa include the town festival in summer and the Christmas market in winter. Another highlight is the traditional Coal Night, where you can take a trip back in time to the mining era.

In summary, Plessa, Elbe-Elster is definitely worth a visit! Visitors can not only enjoy pure nature here but also experience cultural highlights and make culinary discoveries. Whether outdoor activities or indoor fun - there is something to discover for every taste.

    Eine schöne kleine Runde, mit vielen Hinweisen zu den vielfältigsten Obstbäumen. Den Schaugarten kann ich sehr empfehlen, nehmt dafür aber viel Zeit mit. Ich war auf dem Weg allein unterwegs, dafür konnte ich zahlreiche Vögel singen hören. Ein kleiner Makel, die Zierkirschenallee ist so nicht mehr erreichbar, da auf den Feldweg jetzt ein Neubau steht und man nach rechts durch das Feld geleitet wird. Damit kommt man dann bereits im Ort auf die Straße.
