Here you’ll find historic towns such as the thousand-year-old city of Bautzen - one of the oldest settlements in Europe - with its medieval city wall, numerous towers, and the Museum of the Sorbs, located not far from the popular family attraction, the Kleinwelka Dinosaur Park. The European city of Görlitz is another architectural gem, boasting more than 4,000 listed buildings in Late Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, Art Nouveau, and Gründerzeit styles. Frequently used as a film location ("Görlywood") - with stars such as Kate Winslet and Jackie Chan - Görlitz is also unique in that its eastern district, Zgorzelec, was separated after World War II. Today, a bridge unites the two independent towns once again. Other worthwhile destinations include Löbau with its famous cast-iron tower, Zittau, the Zittau Mountains, and charming small towns with traditional half-timbered Umgebindehäuser.

Discover the magnificent nature of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Heath and Pond Landscape (Heide- und Teichlandschaft), or visit famous castles and palaces such as Baroque Rammenau Palace - considered one of the most beautiful estates in Saxony.

Upper Lusatia (Oberlausitz) is also home to the Sorbs, a Slavic minority whose traditions continue to enrich the region, particularly around Bautzen, Kamenz, and Hoyerswerda. Many customs - especially those surrounding Easter - as well as the Sorbian language itself, have remained alive to this day.
