Whether for sunset, a round trip or just chilling. I can recommend the lake and the cycle path, although in season you have to expect many other participants on the cycle path.

From Lübbenau station, the two long-distance lines towards Cottbus and Senftenberg are now only single-track. This severely limits the availability of additional trains. The i2030 project (https://www.i2030.de) plans to double-track the line between Lübbenau and Cottbus. The goal is to offer reliable 30-minute service between Berlin and Cottbus throughout the day. More information about the expansion project, which will begin in 2026, can be found at https://www.i2030.de/suedost. Join us for a tour along the expanded line at https://www.komoot.com/de-de/tour/2186360080.
