Doberlug-Kirchhain suffered a particularly rough patch after reunification and is slowly being revived. This particular round of events might not be the most exciting, but it's certainly interesting. Just Google it if you're interested.

Thanks to Brandenburg Day (in Finsterwalde), a train ran continuously from Chemnitz to Doberlug-Kirchhain in southern Brandenburg this weekend.
I took advantage of it for a Sunday trip and got to see an incredible amount there. The highlight is certainly the monastery complex with Doberlug Castle.
