Student life in Zittau
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...
Very special alternative art venues in the area surrounding Zittau are the KunstBauerKino with the cultural café "Alte Bäckerei" in Großhennersdorf (can be reached hourly from Zittau with the PlusBus 10+ in the direction of Löbau) and the Kulturfabrik MEDA in Mittelherwigsdorf (directly at the Mittelherwigsdorf train station, regional trains from Zittau in the direction of Varnsdorf and Dresden).
Further leisure activity offers:
