Ratzdorf - At the foot of the Oder and Neisse rivers

Ratzdorf is a worthwhile excursion destination in all seasons. Here you have a fantastic view over the vast Oder meadows and an idyllic river landscape that is always bizarre. The water of the Oder and Neisse is subject to constant fluctuations - sometimes extremely low and then again extremely high, to the point of indomitable. There, where the water of the great Oder river and that of the lively Neisse river combine to form a mighty river, you are surrounded by a very special atmosphere. When the sun sweeps over the meadows and the water of the two border rivers gently rushes along, you can just let your mind wander here. The unique river landscape with its species-rich flora and fauna has its very special charm and magically casts its spell on the visitor.

A fantastic natural spectacle can be experienced in the cold winter months, when the ice floes dance happily on the Oder or pile up and pile up.

In recent history, Ratzdorf became known worldwide in 1997 due to the flood of the century. The level house became a landmark that went through all the media and received a lot of attention.

Michael Jackson himself donated for a playground in Ratzdorf.

Due to the natural conditions, Ratzdorf was the only place in the region that lived from shipping. This also shaped the place where you meet silent witnesses at every turn.

The Mönchstour and the Oder-Neisse cycle path, the easternmost long-distance cycle path in Germany, lead through Ratzdorf. A small cyclist church in the village invites you to take a break and pause. It was built in GDR times and has a very special history. Directly opposite the church is the cemetery, where there is a crypt that has been restored in recent years. It is the family crypt of the then very influential merchant Ropert, who owned a royal salt factory.

Guided tours through Ratzdorf and the landscape on the Oder and Neisse are possible by appointment.
