Shore of Zwenkauer See

Highlight • Lake

This part of the shore is (still) relatively quiet, because it is a bit off the official circuit.

Zöbigker Harbor (Pier 1), Lake Cospuden

Highlight • Structure

Whether you're cycling or hiking, you can always use an affordable way to enjoy a good meal. In my opinion, this is a nice alternative without having to sit down at a restaurant.

Actually only wanted to ride the Cossi today, now I've added the Zwenkauer stage without further ado.

But one after anonther.
Four lakes were on the program today.🛳️⛵🌊🏊🏼‍♂️

Störmthaler was okay, didn't blow me away on the bike side. But it's a tip if you want to avoid the crowds.🥳🍸🍾
I would rather not stay there overnight.

Small after-work round. Swallowing dust on the new line. West side Zwenkauer along the 186 to Zitzschen is getting worse to drive. Almost nothing going on around the Zwenkauer. Bit more for it at the Cossi. It's okay. Weekend and home visit is just around the corner.
