Just outside town is the attractive reservoir Oder, where you can swim in the mountain lake. Situated around it are camping grounds for caravans, motor homes and tents. There is a small jetty and sailing club. If the mountain lake gets to cold then you can move to the hot springs of Kirchberg.

Due to the low altitude, alpine skiing is limited. There is a lift located on the slope Heibek, which is about 200 - 300 meters long. Cross county skiing is the best option here. The cross county ski trail Suedharz between Bad Lauterberg and Wieda which has around 47km of trails, an altitude of 450- 750 meters and is well sign posted.
