Sorbian culture in Puschwitz

Puschwitz is part of the Sorbian settlement area. In its districts, residents maintain Sorbian culture and language; bilingualism shapes the community. Cultural life also includes readings and art exhibitions regularly organized by residents. Language, cultural preservation and events give your trip a different focus from a stay centered mainly on the landscape. If you plan to attend a specific event, check the dates before you travel.

Another cultural point of interest is the Kaczmar smithy in Puschwitz, which produces artistic metalwork. Alongside readings and exhibitions, craftsmanship and design are also part of the picture.

Rolling hills, trails and points of reference

The landscape around Puschwitz is varied and hilly. It is shaped by numerous walking and cycling trails, small ponds and groves. You can focus your time on walks or cycling tours; both are ways to experience the local landscape. A wind farm near the villages serves as a point of reference for visitors. It is located on a former open-cast mining site and adds a connection to the site’s former use to the landscape.

Puschwitz/Bóšicy is also connected with the Seeadler circular trail. Check the route before setting out and planning specific sections. This lets you take the route into account when planning a cycling trip without confusing it with the many walking and cycling trails in the Puschwitz landscape.

Putting cycling tours in the Bautzen district in context

In the broader cycling context of the Bautzen district, other tours can be distinguished by their routes and focus. The Bautzen North Tour is 43.1 kilometers long and runs from Bautzen via Quatitz, Großdubrau, Milkel, Klix and Malschwitz, returning to Bautzen. It passes through the heathland and pond landscape and along the nature trail in Crosta. This is a circular route with a specifically stated distance.

The Hills and Valleys Route is a regional circular tour through the West Lusatian hills. The Krabat Cycle Path is also a regional circular tour in the Bautzen district, but follows in the footsteps of the Sorbian legendary hero Krabat. Longer-distance routes have a different focus: the Central Germany Route is a long-distance cycle route from Zittau to Aachen; one section passes through the Upper Lusatian Highlands in the Bautzen district. The Spree Cycle Path runs from its source in Upper Lusatia to Berlin, with the section from Taubenheim to Zerre located in the Bautzen district.

This gives you a choice between a circular tour with a specifically stated distance, regional loops with a landscape or cultural focus, and long-distance routes with sections in the Bautzen district. Along with the many trails in Puschwitz, these examples offer different ways to plan the cycling portion of your stay.
