Naturparkfest Zeischa 2026

Nature Park Community of the Year 2026

With the Nature Park Festival on July 4, 2026, Zeischa, a district of Bad Liebenwerda in the Elbe-Elster district, will officially receive the title Nature Park Community 2026. The award from the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft Nature Park honors villages that are particularly committed to preserving the cultural landscape, to nature-compatible management, and to vibrant village life. For Zeischa, the award is the result of years of commitment by its residents — and the occasion for a big summer festival in the heart of the village.

A Festival in the Heart of the Nature Park

The Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft Nature Park covers around 484 square kilometers between Elsterwerda, Bad Liebenwerda, and Senftenberg. Heathlands, pine forests, and former post-mining landscapes characterize the region. Zeischa is located on the edge of this natural area and has been committed for years to combining nature-based tourism and regional value creation. At the Nature Park Festival, the residents of Zeischa open their village to guests from the entire region — from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., the village square will be filled with life.

Program and Regional Market

A varied program awaits you at the festival grounds at Dorfstraße 20: a regional market with products from the nature park, culinary specialties, musical entertainment, and hands-on activities for families. The award ceremony for Nature Park Community of the Year 2026 will be the festive highlight in the afternoon.

30 Years of Nature Park — Photo Exhibition

A special program item is the exhibition and award ceremony of the photo competition "30 Years of Nature Park – On the Trail". Amateur photographers from all over Niederlausitz have been searching for motifs that tell the story of three decades of nature park history — from heath blossoms and black grouse to scattered fruit orchards and old brick churches. The most beautiful shots will be exhibited and awarded in Zeischa.

Getting There and Tips

Zeischa is reachable in a few minutes by car from Bad Liebenwerda. The nearest train station is Bad Liebenwerda on the Berlin–Falkenberg (Elster)–Cottbus line. Parking is available at the festival grounds. Allow some time — and ideally bring a bicycle, as the heath landscape around Zeischa is a worthwhile excursion tip before or after the festival.
