Tips

City Guide Leipzig

April 14, 2023

Hard to believe: Lake Cossi originated from a dusty coal mine. By 1990, 87 million tons of lignite had been mined, and only after massive public demand was the open-cast mine shut down. Flooding began in 1993 with groundwater and water from neighboring open-cast mines. By 2000, the surrounding area had been developed as a local recreation area. Today, Lake Cospuden is part of the southern New Lake District.

The lake south of Leipzig was created from a former open-cast lignite mine and attracts over 600,000 visitors annually. A 10.4 kilometer long paved circular path leads around the lake.

Absolutely great: You can paddle a kayak or canoe directly from Leipzig city center, six kilometers away, via a canal connection to the lake. The two-kilometer-long sandy beach on the north bank or Pier1, the lively harbor on the east bank of the lake, are ideal for swimming.
