With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Cottbus, 16 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Branitz Park, Cottbus Zoo and Blechen-Carré. Don’t forget about Bad Saarow either! Just 20 miles away, Scharmuetzelsee, Saarow Therme and Irrlandia are must-sees here.
