    After the closure of the lignite mine in 1959, a lake as a nature reserve was created by lowering.

      The artificial lake is part of the "Lößnig-Dölitz Recreation Park". The park has existed for a little over 50 years, after the open pit mine was discontinued due to lack of profitability. The holes were filled and the area was first used agriculturally. However, the fillings sagged again and again, which is why the use then also stopped. And the Silver Lake was created because it was essential to introduce new methods of irrigation at the agricultural exhibition called "agra". And you needed water there, so you jammed the small streams of the area to the reservoir. Since 1993, the lake has been a natural monument. The actual silver lake does not exist anymore. It was a small body of water that was centrally located in the park. However, this water is now swampy and almost dried up.

        Depending on how humid it was, it could be that the lake is pretty empty.
