Seelhausener See and Lober-Leine Canal

The Lober-Leine Canal is the artificial drainage of the rivers Lober and Leine into the basin. It begins north of Benndorf and flows between Pouch and Löbnitz (district Delitzsch) in the hollow. The channel was created between 1949 and 1951, since the original riverbeds had to give way to the Goitzsche open pit. He had a length of about 14 kilometers and was relocated in 1982 for construction site clearance for the Rösa open pit again. After the flood in 2002, in which the estuary was destroyed, it has been used at times for the flooding of the mining quarry Seelhauser See.
Almost all of Saxony is Seelhausener See; earlier there was also the open pit Goitzsche.

Very beautiful calm lake with great trail
