For me, a ride around the Geiseltalsee is one of the most beautiful bike tours in the region.

One of the most beautiful views at Geiseltalsee and the wine is also very tasty.

View of Marina Braunsbedra on Lake Geiseltal

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Geiseltalsee was created by flooding the open-cast mine in early 2000. Where brown coal was still being mined until the 1990s, you can now cycle leisurely through the renaturalized landscape.

This had even been burned once before and rebuilt again, so dear cyclists, honor these beautiful places and make sure that this time it is preserved.

April 6, 2024,... sonnige Runde um den Geiseltalsee ☀️🚲
...the sunny weather lured us to the Geiseltalsee today... we rode our bikes past many great views of the lake... as a reward for the climb up the vineyard we had a glass of delicious wine from the Geiseltalsee... and then we cooled our feet on the beach... but it was still too cold for me to swim 🥶... today …

So, today the round Geiseltalsee part two, but a different starting point, we also wanted to see the Kayna rest hole. And then nature has reclaimed its territory, and that's a good thing.
The lake is easy to circumnavigate, but we didn't discover a swimming opportunity, but we didn't really look for it either.
We continued to the wine bar …

Great round...it was fun. But demanding without an electric bike. 10% gradient to the vineyard. But then you can take a nice break at the top.
Some side sections were unfortunately broken up by roots.
Overall, highly recommended.

Out and about in a new area today 😎 in absolutely great weather 😀👍. Thanks to Maiki for the inspiration.

It was wonderful weather and a clear sky, i.e. we have to get on the bike and explore the landscape, since the Geiseltalsee was just right.
Beautiful landscapes and views of the lake stretch out around the Geiseltalsee. You can also find out how this came about from the information boards on the vineyard. Enjoy the weather and the landscape, …

After several undocumented trips to the Geiseltalsee, which only led around this lake, we decided to add an extension to the Runstädter See and the Großkaynaer See. This route (like the route around the Geiseltalsee) leads over asphalt paths, but with many roots, some lying across the path or in the shape of hills. That was quite annoying.

What a great lap... Of course you can also drive around here ambitiously, but there is far too much to see for that. Whether by bike, on foot, with inline skates ... the circular route around the Geiseltalsee is really well done. Wide, mostly flat and asphalted, the left and right lanes are even marked on the vineyard so that …
