Olbersdorf

Olbersdorf lies beside Olbersdorfer See in Saxony, Germany, where the wooded Zittau Mountains rise at the southern edge of Upper Lusatia. The lake occupies a former lignite open-cast mining area, recording a major change in a district long connected with coal extraction. Its waters and paths support swimming, sailing, walking and cycling, while the sandstone hills of the Zittau Mountains begin nearby. The Czech and Polish frontiers are close, placing the community in a cross-border corner of Central Europe. Olbersdorf also hosts the annual O-SEE Challenge, an off-road triathlon centred on the lake. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Olbersdorf and Upper Lusatia.
