Where else can you travel through three countries within one hour by bike?  Have a beer after lectures in Czech Republic... Or spent a weekend in nearby Prague or in the buzzing student city Wrocław? Take a train right to the  ski slopes or for Mountainbiking in the Zittauer, Iser or Karkonosze Mountains? Zittau is small, sure, but it lies in the midst of one of the most attractive and amazing (cultural) landscapes of Europe!

But Zittau is also worth staying at home: Besides of a broad offer of university sports at University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz,  Olbersdorf Lake lures with its sandy beach, a cinema, an international film festival, an own theatre company and alternative arts offers by Hillerschen Villa are waiting for you...

Liberec, in the Northern Bohemian region not far from the borders with Poland and Germany, is a place that will nourish both body and mind. The city is on the fringe of the Jizera Mountains, with a bowl of soaring peaks and evergreen mountainsides all around. In winter Liberec is a prime snow sport destination and a fixture on the ski jumping circuit, while in summer the opportunities for outdoor adventure are almost endless. Inside Liberec there’s a wealth of things to do for ages, but the city’s strong point is its “edutainment” attractions that everybody is sure to adore.
