Auenhain Beach

Highlight • Beach

Simply a very nice sandy beach on Lake Markkleeberg for relaxing, barbecuing or playing volleyball and swimming at your own risk, with toilets along the way. 👍

Penelope statue with view of Lake Markkleeberg

Highlight • Monument

Stay here for a while and let your gaze wander over Lake Markkleeberg.

Young sculptors created the statue of Penelope, who looks out over the lake. What do you think she sees? Maybe she'll tell you.

Without Filou! I ran too fast for my training condition but happy. No niggles, no walking breaks and the climbs didn't let the pace from the KM collapse excessively.
I'm very satisfied 😊 .

Today I had to go to Leipzig again.. clarify business matters 💰 at the car dealership 🚙.

And so that the trip isn't quite so pointless, I grabbed my trainer 👑 and we ran two more lakes for the Run the Lake - Challenge 🏆.

Not my first walk around Lake Markkleeberg; most people are probably familiar with the sculpture of Penelope looking out for Odysseus. However, I only noticed today that Odysseus was chilling at the canoe park.

I miss the friendliness on the route a bit, no one says hello, the cyclists don't keep their distance.

Runthelake 2023 is a 7 Lakes Challenge. You have to circumnavigate 7 lakes, no matter how fast, and do it by October. You can see the beautiful Leipzig lake landscape. It couldn't be much nicer to exercise and have a sense of achievement at the same time. Participating in a marathon has always been too difficult for me to achieve. …

Today, Martin and I ran around Lake Markkleeberg as part of RunTheLake. It's always beautiful to see the turquoise water. Mostly sunny, but with a cold wind.

Our 3rd RunTheLake sometimes led us onto black ice. In between we met so many cross-country skiers that I thought we were doing winter sports. But there were also a few other runners 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️on the way.
