Gasthaus In Mühle
Gasthaus, In Muhle in Alt Zauche is the best place to have local food. The environment is really cozy, and the service is great.
The prices are a bit higher than average, but it's definitely worth it! Also, if you're looking for something different than the typical German fare, they have a great selection of international dishes.

Goethe Park Amtsteich
Cottbus' Wilhelmsmühle (a building complex originally used as a fulling mill) and Elektrizitätswerk (Power Plant) are both historic buildings of red brick architecture, located right on the edge of a beautiful park in the city. This park is also home to the National Museum of Modern Art, so this is an ideal destination for locals and tourists alike to explore Cottbus' artistic side.
The buildings themselves are a testament to the city's history, with the Wilhelmsmühle being one of the oldest flour mills in Brandenburg. The power station, built in the 19th century, was once responsible for providing electricity to all of Cottbus. Both buildings now offer visitors a unique insight into the past.
