Idyllic, fairly large lake with a beautiful circular path

Very beautiful lake with a great hiking trail around the lake.

Beautiful complex that invites you to linger.

The lake is used as a leisure and recreation area. There are various beaches around the lake, including nudist and dog beaches, as well as lake access for horses. At the lake there is a boat rental and bicycle rental, a campsite, holiday bungalows and holiday homes floating on the water. The lake is a popular diving spot. The European cycle route R1, the Berlin-Leipzig cycle route and the COAL | STEAM | LIGHT cycle route pass by the lake. The latter runs for 160 km along the various post-mining lakes in the region, among other things.[1] The Bergwitz Triathlon, a popular sport triathlon over the sprint distance, has been held annually since 1991.

In 1955, lignite mining in the Bergwitz opencast mine was stopped. In the 1960s, the dump was recultivated and the embankments were designed. At the same time, the remaining hole was flooded by the natural inflow. The lake is fed by groundwater and rainwater. It drains into the flow ditch via an overflow structure.

One of the most beautiful renaturalized open-cast mining pits I have ever seen. Reminds me of the lakes of the Mecklenburg Lake District. Holiday feeling right on your doorstep.☺️

The river rises in the Lusatian Mountains (Upper Lusatia) at an altitude of 317 m above sea level on the eastern flank of the 396 meter high peak, a secondary peak of the Hochstein. The source is located about 1.5 kilometers south of the town of Kindisch, which belongs to Elstra. From there, the Black Elster initially flows north through Elstra, Kamenz, Milstrich and Wittichenau. From Hoyerswerda, it flows west to Elsterheide. After 63 kilometers, it then crosses the Saxon-Brandenburg border. Immediately after the border, the Black Elster crosses the Koschen Canal between Groß- and Kleinkoschen at a waterway junction. It then flows through Senftenberg and Ruhland to Lauchhammer. There it reaches the Schraden, which covers around 15,000 hectares, and the mouth of the Pulsnitz. After the Black Elster has passed the narrowest point of the Breslau-Magdeburg glacial valley at Elsterwerda (7 km), it turns to the northwest and flows through the towns of Bad Liebenwerda, Herzberg and Jessen in the Elbe-Elster lowlands. It flows into the Elbe at river kilometre 198.5 at an altitude of 69 m above sea level near the municipality of Elster (Elbe). Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarze_Elster

The Black Elster is a quaint, small and cozy river.
