Culture & Tradition
The Neisse region has a wealth of cultural offerings. A visit to its castles, parks, and gardens is a must. Besides the UNESCO World Heritage Site Muskau Park/Mużakowski Park, the Rhododendron Park in Kromlau, with its mystical Rakotz Bridge, is a true highlight.
Görlitz, with almost 4,000 listed buildings from the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau periods, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. In Niesky, nearly 100 wooden buildings by Christoph & Unmack AG recall the era of the first industrially prefabricated houses. At the Erlichthof in Rietschen, you can stroll through a log house settlement and admire the typical construction style of this region. Museums like the Markersdorf Village Museum or the Weißwasser Glass Museum tell fascinating stories.
Experience the vibrant customs of the Sorbs: from the bird wedding to the Zampern, to artfully decorated Easter eggs and traditional folk music with Sorbian bagpipes and three-stringed violin.
