Olbersdorfer See - Created from a former lignite open-cast mine, about 130 ha of area have been renatured here. From May to October 1999, the 2nd Saxon State Garden Show Zittau-Olbersdorf took place here with the theme "Landscape after mining." Many facilities have been created for the purpose of redevelopment, serving recreation and tourism. Starting in 2000, the first tourist facilities settled. In addition to a campsite, you can expect a hotel, a restaurant with beer garden, a beach snack bar, a beach shop with bicycle, boat, and beach chair rental, as well as a sports & leisure center with a tennis hall and bowling alley.
In the recreational area FREIZEIT-OASE Olbersdorfer See, there are of course further opportunities to actively spend your leisure time.
