Senftenberger Lake

The bathing water quality is regularly monitored by independent organizations. The water is so clear that under favorable conditions you can see down to a depth of 5 m. The lake is also a popular fishing area due to its abundance of fish (zander, pike, perch, eel, carp, roach and catfish). The acidic pH value of the lake water in some places was problematic for a long time. This is caused by the gradual decomposition of iron sulfide-containing waste into sulfuric acid and sulfates. Due to the constant dilution with fresh water from the Black Elster, only a few places in the nature reserve and the so-called South Sea are affected by this today. Senftenberg Lake has been a navigable body of water since November 2007 and can be navigated by motorized vehicles (max. 12 km/h).
👍👍👍

The Senftenberg Lake was created by flooding the former Niemtsch lignite opencast mine. He is fed by the black magpie. A wonderful landscape for hiking, cycling or boating.

A beautiful piece of earth. You can experience so much.
