Großkoschen - Kóšyna

The landscape around Großkoschen–Kosyna is defined by the wooded shores of Senftenberger See, a lake created on the site of a former lignite mine, which has shaped both the settlement’s layout and local economy. The community belongs to Senftenberg in Lower Lusatia, a region whose land and identity were deeply affected by coal mining and the later transformation of its open-cast sites. Its paired German and Lower Sorbian name reflects the long-standing Sorbian presence in Lusatia. Today, the lake is used for swimming, sailing and other outdoor recreation, with forested stretches still lining much of its shore.
