    A quiet small and popular bathing lake. A bit off Marktschorgast in the green is the "mountain lake". Very refreshing on hot days, approx. 17 mm cold on normal summer days and often frozen in winter.

      If you drive through Marktschorgast the Golbergsee is worth a visit 👍🏻🙌🏻

        In the summer definitely worth a visit to the refreshment. In the lake swim around tree trunks and swimming tires, which are a lot of fun.

          The lake is an abandoned quarry - created around 1920 by too much blasting, which caused a violent ingress of water.

          A legend about the Goldbergsee says that this ingress of water must have been so fast that the quarry workers should even have let their beer crate down - just imagine the panic that must have been among the workers! Whether there is something about it or not, generations of divers have been looking for this beer crate - so far to no avail.

          That is why the lake is relatively deep, despite its actually small size of approx. 100m in length and approx. 30m in width: 5 m at all times, up to 7-8 m at the deepest points. And that's also the explanation for the steep cliffs that almost completely surround the lake - except for the entrance area and a ladder at the opposite end.

              A diving platform at a separate diving pool is available.
              In the natural pool there is a natural rock pool, sanitary facilities, showers, cabins, lawns with shady and sunny places, a youth tent area, a children's playground, a water slide, free parking spaces, a kiosk and a separate baby wading pool.
              The bathing lake offers a depth of nine to ten meters with a water surface of 60 by 140 meters.

                The Goldbergsee is easily accessible from the town entrance. From the town, over the pedestrian path below the school, you have to push and carry the bike up the stairs. It is a sporting destination in summer. In winter, you can drive around and get around freely.

                  If you want to go by bike from the center of the village to the Goldbergsee, you first have to go through the narrow railway underpass and then a few steps before you can sit on the saddle again.

                    The Goldbergsee is always worth a visit.

                        The Goldbergsee has been a cult in the region for years and in the summer is always well attended.
