Kodersdorf – Landscape and Fishing

If you are considering nature and fishing for your stay, Kodersdorf offers specific points of interest. The landscape includes named elevations as well as ponds, floodplains, and river lowlands; fishing is a distinct activity along the White Schöps. For an additional cultural perspective, Görlitz offers architecture and museums.

Landscape and Fishing in Kodersdorf

Kodersdorf is surrounded by the Königshain Hills, Geiersberg, Mühlberg with its mausoleum, Kranichsberg, and Heideberg. The landscape also includes ponds, floodplains, and river lowlands along the White Schöps. Named elevations and water-shaped areas thus sit side by side.

These two perspectives can help you plan your stay: you can explore the hills as a landscape feature or focus on the waterscape, with its ponds, floodplains, and river lowlands. Mühlberg is the named elevation associated with a specific structure, the mausoleum.

The largely unspoiled White Schöps is among the waterways managed by the German Anglers Association and is suitable for fishing. This gives the nature theme a specific activity alongside the landscape: fishing is one possible focus along the White Schöps, while the other features mentioned describe the broader landscape.

Görlitz: Architecture and Urban History

Görlitz is considered an architectural highlight of eastern Saxony. More than 4,000 buildings from the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Art Nouveau periods shape the city. Its distinctive features also include the cross-border urban connection with Zgorzelec in Poland. The historic city can therefore be viewed through its different periods and its connection to its Polish neighbouring city.

After a city fire, the Schönhof was rebuilt in the Renaissance style from 1526 onward. It is the main building of the Silesian Museum in Görlitz and is one of the oldest Renaissance buildings north of the Alps. Another historic site is the Holy Sepulchre: it was built between 1481 and 1504 and comprises the Sepulchre Chapel, the Chapel of the Anointing, and the Adam Chapel. It is considered a unique replica of Jerusalem’s holy sites and the oldest surviving structure of its kind north of the Alps.

Natural history is also part of Görlitz’s cultural offering. The vivarium at the Senckenberg Museum of Natural History presents around 70 animal species in twelve elaborately designed landscape tanks across an area of 100 m². A live feeding demonstration takes place in the live-animal area on the first Thursday of every month at 4 p.m.; admission is included in the museum ticket. Check the current calendar before your visit.

ViaThea, the street arts festival, is one of the regular highlights of Görlitz’s cultural calendar. If you plan to attend the festival, check the dates and programme in advance.
