A really nice, secluded swimming area. It offers direct access to the water via stairs. Above there are benches and tables to sit down. Should be used. 🙃👍🏻

Dog beach at Lake Moritz

Highlight • Beach

The dog beach is ideal for the four-legged friends and humans both can cool off together. The beach is directly accessible from the large, public parking. In the summer but very crowded. 🙃🌊

I have planned the tour for a long time. So far I only knew one side of Moritzsee. Very beautiful bathing lakes with clear water, several stretches of beach and lawn, several public toilets and a snack bar in summer. Parking spaces very close by, one euro per hour. All around is forest, so almost natural.

A trip to the lake at the end of November, with temperatures at -5°C, is right up my alley. Surprisingly, the number of swimmers was quite manageable, although there was a brave group of winter swimmers in. I didn't take any pictures; it's just not done to photograph them.

the flooded brown coal opencast mines, attracted water lovers in the 2000s, the Naunhof lakes next to Kulkwitzer See were Leipzig's bathtubs.
It is a little quieter at Grillensee, and the motorway …

Actually, I wanted to do the loop around the Grillensee, but unfortunately the path suddenly came to an end.

What we lack in the Dresden area, there is plenty in Leipzig.
So it was once again a nice round around two lakes.
Both lakes are former gravel pits and are now very popular bathing lakes. In East Germany, Lake Moritz was known far beyond the borders of Saxony as the largest nudist bathing lake. This culture is still lived …
