Schipkau

Schipkau is located in the south of Brandenburg on the edge of the Lusatian Lakeland. The region is known for its idyllic landscapes of forests, rivers and lakes. The area is particularly suitable for hiking or cycling on one of the many routes through the Spreewald biosphere reserve.

The town itself also has a lot to offer: One highlight is the "Rostiger Nagel" observation tower, which offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Another attraction is the Louise briquette factory - an industrial monument from the 19th century - as well as the Knappenrode Mining Museum.

Culture enthusiasts will be thrilled by the annual music festival "Schipkauer Kultursommer" or the traditional Sorbian Easter egg market in Calau. For all gourmets among us, we may recommend to definitely try the regional curd cheese called "Schwarzheider Krauterkäse" - a true delicacy!

For active holidaymakers, there are numerous possibilities such as canoeing on the Black Elster or sailing on Lake Senftenberg - perfect for the summer. In winter, you can put your skiing skills to the test on the ski slope in Senftenberg.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do: The "Senftenberger See" adventure pool offers swimming fun and relaxation, while Branitz Castle in Cottbus is an interesting destination for an excursion.

In conclusion, Schipkau is definitely worth a trip. The landscapes are breathtakingly beautiful and offer many opportunities for outdoor activities as well as cultural highlights and culinary specialities. Where is the most beautiful? You decide for yourself - but we definitely recommend a detour to the "Rostiger Nagel" observation tower.
