Schladitzer Bay

A former opencast mine, as often found in the area. Today a popular local recreation area.

Lake Schladitz is located north of Leipzig and is surrounded by the municipality of Rackwitz and the Schkeuditz districts of Hayna and Wolteritz. It is part of a recreation area that emerged from the recultivation of the former Breitenfeld opencast mining area. Since its release in 2003, the Schladitzer See has quickly established itself as a new bathing opportunity with the best water quality. It was used as early as 2003 to implement the principle of "visitor guidance instead of prohibition signs", and thus some time before the final water level was reached.
