Guided off-road tours, National Park and Nature Conservation Centres

The central contact point for nature lovers and guests of the Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park is the Karower Meiler Culture and Information Center. In addition to a permanent exhibition on the development of this cultural landscape since the last cold period, five to six special exhibitions by artists and photographers on topics of nature and landscape are shown annually.

Lectures and festivals in or around the Karower Meiler complete the annual program. Many excursions with the nature guard of the nature park (ranger) start and end here. The entire annual program can be found in the event schedule "Unterwegs" and on the Internet. If you do not have your own bicycle, you can rent one at the Karower Meiler. During opening hours, rangers or other employees of the nature park and its sponsoring association are available to help and advise guests. The Nossentiner/Schwinzer Heath Nature Park has 60 lakes, the largest being the Krakow Obersee. Pine forests, moors, dunes, wet meadows, dry grasslands and heath continue to characterize the area. Numerous hiking and biking trails, bridle paths as well as nature and adventure trails offer a variety of vacation experiences.
