iba-aktiv-tours

Visitors are encouraged to explore the magnificent Lusatian Lake District with the tour operator iba-aktiv-tours. They are introduced to each stage of the flooding process from surface mining to the finished bathing lake on guided tours and tours with expert guest guides. They also learn how the largest man-made lake landscape is being created from the former mining region. Visitors will experience the landscape transformation in the region in a kind of time-lapse on guided tours: new lakes, navigable canals, floating houses, town marinas, operational surface mining and industrial culture. The guided tours are either on foot, by bicycle, by minibus or on the Seeschlange road train.
