Descrição

On the northwestern shore of Cottbuser Ostsee, near Viewpoint Lakoma (Aussichtspunkt Lakoma), you can observe different species of geese, ducks and grebes. Águia-rabalva can be observed flying over and in December 2024 a Mobêlha-grande was observed foraging together with a flock of Mobêlha-árctica.

On the western side, near Observation Tower Merzdorf (Aussichtsturm Merzdorf), is where the future marina is planned. At the moment, however, one can observe Galeirão-comum, Merganso-grande, Cisne-vulgar as well as peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro and Cartaxo-comum plus different ducks and geese.

The area around the southern observation point (Aussichtspunkt Süd) is likely the most promising in the future because that part of the lake is bookmarked as a nature reserve and no swimming or boats will be allowed. During summer, Tartaranhão-ruivo-dos-pauis and Águia-pesqueira can be seen. Águia-rabalva are there all year round and in the surrounding woody areas there are Papa-figos and Poupa.

Detalhes

Cottbuser Ostsee is located east of the city of Cottbus. Attention: at the time of writing, Lakoma and Merzdorf can be officially reached by car, Aussichtpunkt Süd not - according to signposts along the road, cars have no access. It is planned to create a cycle path around the whole lake (approximately 25 km long). Press a P on the map for directions.

Informação extra

In December 2024, the city of Cottbus didn't do any construction work on the marina, but this is planned for the future. Also, because of some geological instabilities, direct access to the shore is not possible at the time of writing. This might change in 2025. For now, follow the signposts!

Many people already make use of the cycle path between Wilmersdorf/Lakoma, Merzdorf down to Dissenchen and Schlichow. The latter two are also served by busses.
