Cottbus

Cottbus sits on the Spree river in Brandenburg's lake district, where the terrain is pancake-flat and cycling dominates the calendar. The Lausitzer Seenland 100 is the marquee event—a 201km loop through glacial lakes and forest tracks—while runners have the Cottbuser Ostsee Halbmarathon, a flat half-marathon course along reclaimed mining lakes now turned recreational. With elevations below 100m and no hills within 20km, this is endurance cycling and distance running country, not sprinting terrain.
