The Partwitz Lake impresses with its turquoise-blue, clear water and soft sandy beach sections for swimming and relaxing. The lake is already affectionately called the "little Caribbean of Lusatia" by visitors and those seeking relaxation. A holiday home settlement is being created in this unique location. In the first construction phase of Aqua Terra Lausitz, which connects directly to the future harbor, two-story houses with a size of 65 or 78 square meters will be built. These houses are designed for year-round use. Vehicles can be parked directly next to the house. Due to the terracing and the south-west orientation of the large glass surfaces, there is a unique lake view with the most beautiful sunsets in Saxony.

ADAC Bike Service Station at Partwitzer See – practical and truly helpful when the tire goes flat. The only question is: How long will this stay intact before vandalism strikes faster than a bicycle pump?

Air pump and tools – everything's there. You just need to bring your own spare tube. Thanks ADAC!
