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

Hiking

A circumnavigation of the lake - 10km .. a little over 2 hours is definitely worth the journey and is fun in every season

☆ Circular route was created 😎
☆ It's a shame that the asphalt doesn't go around the whole lake. 🙁
