Behind the grass and trees in the north of Lake Bockwitz you can always catch a glimpse of the water glistening in the sunlight. There is a beach on the northwest side.

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