Senftenberg lies along the Schwarze Elster and beside Senftenberg Lake, where a former lignite-mining landscape has been reshaped into the Lusatian Lake District. The lake, created in a former open-cast mine, gives the town a waterfront of beaches, marinas and paths, while forest and reclaimed land extend beyond its shores. At the centre stands Schloss und Festung Senftenberg, a Renaissance fortress housing the Senftenberg Museum and documenting the region’s past. Senftenberg is part of Lower Lusatia, near the border between Brandenburg and Saxony. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Senftenberg and Lusatia.
