Lausitzer Findlingspark Nochten

The Lausitzer Findlingspark Nochten is situated at the southern of the the UNESCO Global Geopark Muskauer Faltenbogen / Łuk Mużakowa. The park, a fine example of post-brown coal mining recultivation, was built in 2003 using approximately 7,000 glacial erratics over an area of 20 hectares. Along its approximately 3 km of paths, the interests of Geology and Botany enthusiasts, but also whole families are catered to by a range of attractions. The park was created through the relocation of Scandinavian erratics which were brought to Lusatia in the last glacial period. Seven distinct areas can be identified: the rockery, aquatic garden, heather garden, moorland, forest lake, rock garden with Alpine flowers and Little Scandinavia. In addition, there is a children’s play area – the “desert” – in which young explorers can find little treasures buried in the sand.
