With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Hoyerswerda, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Lausitzhalle, Lausitzbad Spa and Hoyerswerda Zoo. Bad Saarow is another terrific option. It’s 30 miles away and has a range of interesting things to do. Scharmuetzelsee, Saarow Therme and Irrlandia are just the start.
