Like the neighboring Bockwitzer See, the Harthsee is an opencast mine residue lake that emerged from the Borna-Ost opencast brown coal mine. It is located in the Leipzig Neuseenland east of Borna and north of Frohburg and was flooded from 1987 to 1995.

At Harthsee there is a beach with food trucks, several “private” bathing niches, a nudist area and another smaller beach at the second parking lot.

The fishing club looks after the area and charges a €2 parking fee on some summer days.

Hiking

Very nice lake with clear water. Hike around the lake easy and mostly flat.
