Opis
On the northwestern shore of Cottbuser Ostsee, near Viewpoint Lakoma (Aussichtspunkt Lakoma), you can observe different species of geese, ducks and grebes. bielik can be observed flying over and in December 2024 a lodowiec was observed foraging together with a flock of nur czarnoszyi.
On the western side, near Observation Tower Merzdorf (Aussichtsturm Merzdorf), is where the future marina is planned. At the moment, however, one can observe łyska, nurogęś, łabędź niemy as well as pustułka (zwyczajna) and kląskawka 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, błotniak stawowy and rybołów can be seen. bielik are there all year round and in the surrounding woody areas there are wilga (zwyczajna) and dudek.

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.
