The extensive pond landscape north of Bautzen surprised me. A beautiful section of the Spree cycle path.

Beautiful in every season and perfect for (leisure) cyclists and hikers. There is still potential in terms of gastronomy, but travelers usually have a backpack and provisions with them and nature and the journey are usually the goal:-)
