The Kotteritz Pleißenwehr is located about 3 km southeast of Altenburg, somewhat hidden away on the Leipzig railway line towards Altenburg-Zwickau in the village of Kotteritz, in the municipality of Nobitz. It was previously used to generate energy for the ALWO Altenburger Wollspinnerei. (closed in 2002). Today it still attracts many walkers.

A perfect spot for a spontaneous river crossing. A lovely place for families with children to play adventurously, splash around, or simply watch the water.
