Hotels in Upper Lusatia, Germany
Upper Lusatia sits in eastern Germany, straddling Saxony and Brandenburg, with a continental climate of warm summers (up to 77°F/25°C) and cold winters (down to 23°F/-5°C). It's famous for the towering sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland, where you can hike or rock climb from May to September, and for the Lusatian Lake District, a chain of flooded open-pit mines perfect for sailing and swimming in July and August. In winter, head to the historic town of Bautzen to explore its medieval fortifications and Sorbian Easter markets, while spring brings blooming orchards and cycling routes along the Spree River.
