The former open-cast mine has been transformed into a large recreational lake and is now well-developed with beaches, campsites, harbors, and cycle paths.

These trees have since been removed. Presumably as part of the lake clearance and planned opening of the various lake crossings in summer 2026.

This lake was flooded in the 1970s. It's a "miracle" how nature has evolved during this time. It gives us a glimpse of what the Lusatian lake landscape might one day look like.

It's most beautiful here when the sun sets and there's no wind. There are wonderful reflections in the water.
