There is currently a unique natural experience to marvel at on the Oder slopes near Lebus north of Frankfurt (Oder). The Adonis florets are in full bloom. Every year from mid-March to early May, the golden-yellow buttercup plants appear to their numerous admirers on the 50-meter-high Oder hills. This spring the Adonis florets are even outshining the sun, so a trip to the town of Lebus, which is only around 9 kilometers from Frankfurt (Oder), is really worth it. Guests staying at a hotel in Frankfurt (Oder) should definitely take the opportunity to enjoy the magnificent sight with a picnic. The hotel kitchen team will be happy to prepare rich and healthy packed lunches for you to take away.

The natural experience is particularly unique because the demanding Adonis roses are actually native to the cooler steppes in Asia and are only rarely found in contiguous areas in Germany like in Lebus. The area is one of the European nature and landscape protection areas and on the Polish side of the Oder there is the “Unteres Wartethal” bird sanctuary not far away. The impressive diversity of animal and plant species makes the region around Lebus very popular with tourists and locals even outside the flowering period of the Adonis roses.

From above the hills in front of the Oder meadows you also have a fantastic view over the meandering Oder river to the skyline of Frankfurt (Oder) and the surroundings of the Polish twin town of Slubice – if you manage to keep your admiring gaze from the enchanting Adonis flowers to release it and let it wander into the distance.

Since the Oder slopes are only around 9 kilometers from Frankfurt (Oder), we recommend a bike trip in the fresh spring air over the Oder meadows. Long hikes or walks are also a good way to explore the Oder slopes in peace. Attractively designed boards on the cycle and hiking trails, especially on the Oder-Neiße cycle path, also provide information about the numerous myths and legends that also surround the Adonis roses.

The numerous impressions of such a wonderful excursion can best be processed and reviewed in the evening during a visit to the restaurant „Zur Alten Oder“ .
