West Shore of Cospudener Lake

The Cospudener See is an artificial lake south of Leipzig. It was created from an opencast mine that was flooded. The three Saxon cities of Leipzig, Markkleeberg and Zwenkau share the lake area.

Wetland Between Zwenkauer and Cospudener Lakes

If you keep your eyes peeled, you're sure to spot a bird species or two. It's a wonderful habitat for a variety of animals, insects, and amphibians.

Cospudener Lake Marina

Highlight • Lake

Hard to believe: The "Cossi" emerged from a dusty coal mine. Up until 1990, the output amounted to 87 million tons of lignite, and the open-cast mine was only shut …

Zöbigker Harbor (Pier 1), Lake Cospuden

July 7, 2024,Fahrt zur Bistumshöhe

Day 2 of the vacation at Lake Cospuden.

180 steps to the panoramic view
The people of Leipzig love their "Cossi", Lake Cospuden. On its southwestern shore is the Bistumshöhe, a hill that at 131 meters high has to be conquered first. If you still have the strength and don't mind seeing the ground beneath your feet through the lattice …

After a forced break due to C..., there was a small detour to Leipzig. You can unwind here, especially when the weather is nice. However, if you like it quiet, then you should not choose this tour, because bathing bays and cafés invite you to plan a trip there.

August 11, 2024,Familienrunde um den Cosi

Today a lovely family day at Lake Cospuden came to an end. At lunchtime we drove around the lake and finally climbed up the Bistumshöhe on the way. The view was great in this weather.
After the climb we had a late lunch at "Brot und Kees" (highly recommended). Afterwards we used the afternoon to go swimming at the lake. …

A very special bike tour: We booked a pedal car for four riders. Two in the front, two in the back, and we also squeezed today's birthday girl between us on the back seat. So, for her 98th birthday, our mom could enjoy another wonderful bike ride around Lake Cospuden. Who would have thought that possible? You can rent these …

Last "workup" now 😉... and hard to believe that it was our 1st and certainly not last visit to the Leipzig Lake District. So close...and the maritime flair has something of the Baltic Sea⚓ and a very good water quality...The Cospudener See was opened up in 2000 and the 10.4 km long paved circular route is also ideal for cycling. …

May 2, 2026,n.d. Frühdienst um den Cosi 🚴🏼‍♀️☀️

After I finished the early shift, the weather was nice, so after a long time I went to Cosi again to cycle two relaxed laps around the lake with my singlespeed, but it was too busy again regarding the crowd, but understandable given the weather and because it was Saturday.
