June 21, 2025,Störmthaler - Markkleeberger Seen Runde

Once again, I cycled along the Leipzig lakes. Today I cycled to Störmthaler and Markkleeberger lakes, and as always, it was a very beautiful and varied ride.

Now it was supposed to be Leipzig's New Zealand, Störmthaler Lake and all that. First of all: this was a clean asphalt track for grinding away kilometers, and that's exactly how it should be. No gravel and roots running lengthways and across, just a pointless straight ahead. Plan fulfilled, a great area. The whitewater canoeing area at Markkleeberg Lake was …

Going on a bike ride with friends is great even when the weather is cloudy.
It was also interesting that we met from different directions. To be more precise, Thuringia, the Ore Mountains and I came from the Leipzig area.
Great, we're going to be repeat offenders. The next tour has already been discussed. Appointment will be announced...

the obligatory summer round to swim in Lake Markkleeberg.
But before swimming, the gods had planned a sweat. After the first 6 km, we noticed that the bike lock (just in case - swimming area) was still in the car. As a result, we did an extra round around Lake Markkleeberg.
Otherwise, a nice round - lots of racing cyclists …

It's not the most demanding tour, because it always goes along the shore path. But what is very remarkable is what a great nature has emerged from this brown coal opencast mine. There is really something going on here, everything that has a bicycle is on the road here. And you don't starve on the way, every few kilometers there …

Nice little loop around the Störmthaler and Markleeberger See. Hard to believe, but a few years ago the area looked like a lunar landscape. Not quite as crowded as the Cospudener See you will find beautiful, quiet bathing spots here.
The import from Wahoo to Komoot has recently stopped working for me. Only adding it manually helps. Anyone have similar …

August 2, 2025,🚴 MTB-Tour um den Markkleeberger- ⚓️ und den Störmthaler-See 🐟

Today I decided to try Lake Störmthal, as it's quite a long way from us, so I strapped my fully-suspension MTB onto the bike rack again and rode near Lake Markkleeberg, then circled it as well ⤵️. I started off clockwise and had a fantastic afternoon on my Cube fully-suspension bike. It was a bit like a holiday 🧳🏖️ I …
