    In contrast to the other lakes, there is plenty of seating for leisurely breaks.

      The Rötha reservoir is a reservoir northwest of Borna and south of Leipzig in Saxony, which was built between 1938 and 1942 as a flood retention basin and supplier of process water for the lignite industry in the region. With the progressive expansion of the Witznitz II opencast mine, the southern part was drained and dredged at the end of the 1960s. The northern part was spared this fate due to the premature closure of the opencast mine in 1993.
