Frankfurt-Oder and surroundings
The Hotel City Residence in Frankfurt-Oder is an ideal starting point for excursions by train or by bike. For one thing, the train station is only a few minutes away. Trains to Berlin, neighboring Poland or other attractive destinations in Brandenburg depart regularly from there. You can cycle straight out onto the Oder-Neisse cycle path to explore nature along the Oder.
Incidentally, Brandenburg is the federal state with the most bodies of water. There are more than 3,000 natural lakes, many man-made ponds or quarry ponds, 33,000 kilometers of river and some canals. So there is a lot to discover in East Germany!
About 70 kilometers from Frankfurt-Oder is the so-called Oderbruch, a swamp area about 60 kilometers long and 12 to 20 kilometers wide. The Oder, marshes, plateaus, hills and islands like the Neuhagener Insel make the area a great destination. The sparsely populated landscape is perfect for hiking and cycling. And if you prefer to explore the Oder from the water, there are piers everywhere where you can rent canoes and paddle along the Oder. This is always great fun for children and young people.
And if you want to see some of the highlights of the federal state of Brandenburg, numerous sights await you along the Oderbruch. Old villages, castles and farms can be found everywhere along the Oder. Many visitors see Neuhardenberg Castle, for example. You can also spend a nice afternoon in Groß Neuendorf, a recreation and adventure village with art galleries, a historic harbor and museums. There is also an inland navigation museum in Oderberg, where you can learn more about the Oder and the region's shipping history.
Those who are more interested in nature and landscape can watch flooded polders in spring, the frozen Oder in winter and bird migrations in autumn. Up to 30,000 geese rest on the region's lakes in autumn on their way south. Incidentally, on the Oder-Neisse cycle path you cycle directly on the Oder dike and have a special view of the river.
With a stay at the Hotel City Residence in Frankfurt-Oder you have numerous opportunities to spend your free time.
