Goitzsche Marina Promenade

The Goitzschesee is an opencast mining lake and a scenic gem with a wide range of water sports, those looking for relaxation and nature lovers.The Goitzschesee at the gates of the town of Bitterfeld invites visitors to swim, cycle, sail, dive and surf. Several swimming areas, the water sports center and a modern wake park offer the best conditions for water sports enthusiasts.Nowhere else in the area of the former GDR is the structural change from an ecological emergency area to a sustainably renovated, wonderful recreational landscape as clearly comprehensible as in Bitterfeld on the Great Goitzschesee. Brown coal mining and environmental pollution once shaped the landscape. The open pit area was used for coaling briquette factories, power plants and the chemical industry in the Bitterfeld-Wolfen area. A special feature was the extraction of "Bitterfeld amber". This started in 1975 and until 1993 amber was mined industrially, which was unique in Germany. Minable amber is said to still be in the Goitzsche today.Today, a well-developed network of cycling and hiking trails surrounds the Goitzschesee and thus also offers many opportunities for joggers and skaters. If you like it leisurely, you can explore the lake by passenger ship, pirate ship or even by catamaran. From the level tower, the red tower or the nearby Bitterfelder Bogen you can enjoy a fantastic view over the region. Various gastronomic facilities are available on the Mühlbeck beach, on the amber promenade and in the city harbor. Houseboats, floating holiday homes, a camping park and holiday homes near the water invite you to stay longer on the Goitzsche.Three lidos on the Goitzsche invite you to spend a relaxing day at the lake: the Mühlbeck lido, the lido at the level tower and the Niemecker See lido.
