Cycling Season in Guben: Explore Neisse Area and Enjoy Ascension Day Festivities

The cycling season in Guben has opened a long time ago: many cycling enthusiasts were pushing their bikes to the start in Guben in early spring. Celebrities also cycled with Detlef Uibel, head of the federal cycling center in Cottbus and former national coach. The people of Guben know many routes around the city of Neisse. He was once learning the ABCs of cycling on the Neisse.

Detlef Uibel recommends a trip from Guben to Lake Deulowitz. From there you cycle through Schlagsdorf to Groß Gastrose and back to Guben. There are many tours from Neissestadt. The Neisse lowland offers good trails, the terrain is flat. Tours on the Oder-Neiße-Weg lead to Forst or Eisenhüttenstadt. A trip to Neuzelle is also recommended. In addition, many lakes in the Guben region offer attractive destinations. The selection is huge, there is something for everyone. So the length of the paths can be divided well.
