West Shore of Cospudener Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Cospudener See is an artificial lake south of Leipzig. It was created from an opencast mine that was flooded. The three Saxon cities of Leipzig, Markkleeberg and Zwenkau share the lake area.

Hard to believe: The "Cossi" emerged from a dusty coal mine. Up until 1990, the output amounted to 87 million tons of lignite, and the open-cast mine was only shut down after massive demands from the population. In 1993, flooding began with groundwater and water from neighboring opencast mines. By the year 2000, the area was designed as a local recreation area. The Neuseenland with the Cospudener See is an example of the renaturation of the south of Leipzig.

View of Lake Cospuden

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view. Quiet beach. The only thing that bothers me is maybe the many algae, but it didn't bother me.

August 10, 2024,🚴🏼‍♀️ Cossi + Zwenkauer See

Today I went around Lake Zwenkau for the first time. The west side isn't particularly great. The cycle path runs past a main road about 10m away. On the south side it was nicer and from the harbor there were some nice views of the lake from the cycle path. There was a lot going on at the Cossi on …

September 9, 2023,Leipzig 2023: Cospudener- und Zwenkauer See

On the way back from Pirna we made a stop at the Leipzig Neuseenland. We moved into our quarters at Marktkleeberger See.
The main reason for stopping in Leipzig was to visit the newly created lake landscape. A paradise for cyclists. Wide asphalt cycle paths go around the lakes. Even if you retreat a little further from the hustle and …

August 13, 2023,🇩🇪 Leipziger Neu-Seenland

The bird catches the worm early! According to this motto, we set off today for the Leipzig Neu-Seenlandschaft. Especially the Cospudener See is extremely "traffic jammed". But we were lucky and the lake bypass was very relaxed. Very well developed cycle paths and the good weather made for a good mood today.

June 25, 2023,Fahrradtour Zwenkauer See / Cospudener See an/ab Markleeberg-Gaschwitz

Beautiful tour around the Zwenkauer See and the Cospudener See by bike 🚴. Start in Markkleeberg Gaschwitz would also be accessible by S-Bahn. First it went from the Radlerhof Gaschwitz along the Pleisse and then to the Zwenkauer See, where some new houses are now being built. The first half was paved and the second half was fine gravel. It's …

June 1, 2023,Von Markkleeberg-Großstädteln um den Cospudener See und Zwenkauer See

Nice round in the Leipziger Neuseenland with some trials and tribulations. We followed another tour for most of it, only at the end we had some problems getting back to the car. In the end we found the right way😅. I am always fascinated by how the not-so-beautiful open-cast mining landscapes can become a flourishing nature. It chirps and smells …

The Leipzig Lake District is definitely worth a visit. The cycle path network is very well developed and there are plenty of sandy beaches and places to stop and relax.
