The Bockwitzer See was created as a post-mining landscape near Borna south of Leipzig from the former open-cast lignite mine Borna-Ost / Bockwitz, which was flooded from 1993 to 2005 by rising groundwater. The lake was named after the devastated Gut Bockwitz.

At this point you can no longer see the lake itself, but especially in early summer you have a beautiful view of a large field, full of ears swaying in the wind.
