With the Gondola to Pückler's Pyramids: Cottbus from its most poetic side
This gondola ride takes you deep into the garden art of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau. The waterways of Branitz Park reveal a landscape that feels like a walkable work of art: calm, surprising, and full of historical depth. Between pyramids, lakes, and wide axes of view, you experience Cottbus as a cultural discovery.
Waterways, View Axes, and Garden Art to Touch
The ride begins at the gondola landing stage in the Branitz Park & Castle. From there, the group glides through the unique Branitz park landscape and experiences the famous tumulus, the water and burial pyramid of the princely couple, from a perspective that is not accessible on foot. It is the interplay of tranquil water surfaces, ancient trees, and artistically composed landscapes that makes this city tour so special.
History that Comes Alive on the Water

The gondola ride impressively connects nature experiences and local history. Those interested in cultural heritage, architecture, and landscape design will find here a tour with genuine character.
