Great fun experience, with wakeboarding facilities and some beaches in the former open-cast mining pit. Nice to cycle along.

Beyond the Horizon
July 9, 2025, Muskauer Park (Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau)

Anyone cycling through Bad Muskau and wondering whether landscape can be art should simply dismount. Because Muskau Park isn't a green space; it's a poem in trees, paths, and sightlines. Designed by the eccentric Prince Pückler, who wanted to impress with gardens more than with wars, it is now rightfully a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And you notice this with every pedal stroke. One-third of the park lies in Germany, two-thirds in Poland – a European masterpiece of garden design that knows no boundaries except those of good taste. There are no "signs with arrows" here, but rather sightlines that guide you. You cycle past ancient oaks, over gentle bridges, through light avenues. And then, suddenly, it appears: the New Palace. So red, so magnificent, so playfully baroque that you'd think a piece of cotton candy had become a listed building. Behind the palace, the building is reflected in the water like an embarrassed self-portrait, framed by flowers, bushes, and the stories of those who once strolled here – and now picnic. Those seeking open spaces will find it. Those seeking peace and quiet will too. And those who simply want to cycle have rarely had a more beautiful ride. The Prince Pückler Park is not a place you "visit" – you encounter it. And sometimes, when the light is right and the palace glows, you also encounter yourself a little bit anew.

Not a UNESCO World Heritage Site for nothing! One third of the park on the German side, two thirds of the park on the Polish side. The extensive landscape park has a great stock of trees and impresses with generous visual axes. The New Castle of Prince Pückler has been wonderfully restored and shines from afar.

The blue Barkas in the middle of the water is the eye-catcher of the wakeboarding and waterskiing facility on Lake Halbendorf. Information about swimming and leisure activities at: https://www.lausitzerseenland.de/de/die-seen/artikel-halbendorfer-see.html

Nice big park on both sides of the border. In the Polish part, the signage could be better. Due to the size, a bicycle makes sense, at least if you want to visit both sides.

from the Lausitzer Rundschau of August 23, 2021: "Among other things, the tower should get a roof. The tower is expected to be closed by November 26th. As construction department manager Eppinger describes, the roof and railing structures are already being made." They are due to be installed in September take place - regardless of how far the work on the slope is. “The tower”, says Eppinger, “will have a steel roof structure including lightning protection and rainwater drainage into the adjacent forest. The railings on the top floor will be renewed. Dilapidated wood will be replaced . The horizontal pieces of wood are covered with sheet metal. "And then, says Eppinger, the slope should be planted if necessary."
