The Goitzschesee is an opencast mining lake and a scenic gem with a wide range of offerings for water sports enthusiasts, those seeking relaxation and nature lovers.

The Goitzschesee just outside the city of Bitterfeld invites visitors to swim, cycle, sail, dive and surf. Several swimming areas, the water sports center and a modern wake park offer the best conditions for water sports enthusiasts.

Nowhere else in the area of the former GDR is the structural change from an ecological emergency area to sustainably renovated, wonderful recreational landscapes as clearly understandable as in Bitterfeld on the Großer Goitzschesee. Opencast brown coal mining and environmental pollution once shaped the landscape. The opencast mining area was used to coal briquette factories, power plants and the chemical industry in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen area. A special feature was the extraction of “Bitterfeld amber”. This began in 1975 and amber was mined industrially until 1993, which was unique in Germany. There is still said to be recoverable amber in the Goitzsche today.

Today, a well-developed network of cycling and hiking trails surrounds Lake Goitzsche, offering many opportunities for joggers and skaters. If you like it leisurely, you can explore the lake by passenger ship, pirate ship or even by catamaran. You can enjoy a fantastic view of the region from the level tower, the Red Tower or the nearby Bitterfelder Bogen. Various dining options are available on Mühlbecker Strand, on the Bernstein Promenade and at the city harbor. Houseboats, floating holiday homes, a camping park and holiday homes near the water invite you to spend an extended stay on the Goitzsche.

Three beaches on the Goitzsche invite you to a relaxing day at the lake: the Mühlbeck lido, the lido at the Pegelturm and the Niemecker See lido.
