Penelope statue with view of Lake Markkleeberg

Highlight • Monument

Stay here for a while and let your gaze wander over Lake Markkleeberg.

Young sculptors created the statue of Penelope, who looks out over the lake. What do you think she sees? Maybe she'll tell you.

A fantastic bike path right by the water – incredibly beautiful. It was pleasantly empty in December, but on nice summer days, you'll probably have to share the path with many walkers. Signs are posted everywhere, urging mutual consideration.

We're slowly getting the hang of it 😇🎈
And this time it should be two lakes that we have circumnavigated

June 29, 2025,☀️Schöner Nachmittag am Störmthaler See 🏊‍♂️ 🚲 mit Markkleeberger 😊

Always beautiful, cycling without the mountains!
😎
I've only been to Störmthaler for a short time,
so today I enjoyed the lake extensively!
A good choice in this heat.
👍🏻
During the ride, I kept thinking about what the lignite mining areas looked like before the fall of the Wall, how desolate...
It's incredibly impressive what's become here!

September 10, 2023,Leipzig 2023: Markkleeberger See und Störmthaler See

On the way back from Pirna we made a stop at the Leipzig Neuseenland. We moved into our quarters at Marktkleeberger See.
The main reason for stopping in Leipzig was to visit the newly created lake landscape. A paradise for cyclists. Wide asphalt cycle paths go around the lakes. Even if you retreat a little further from the hustle and …

May 20, 2023,Umrundung des Markkleeberger und des Strömthaler Sees🚴‍♀️🌞

Today we went to the Leipziger Neuseenland, more precisely to the Markkleeberger See.
A beautiful nature. The bike path is great. There are many opportunities to take a break and enjoy the views of the lake. There is a lot to discover.
The circumnavigation of both lakes (also the Ströhmtaler See) is very nice. Also highly recommended for children. In …

July 13, 2022,heute geht´s zum Baden...

...in the south of Leipzig we drove around two lakes, looked at this and that (sculptures, Apelsteine, the canoe park in the dry, former opencast mining excavators and much more)... oh yes, we also wanted to swim. On the beach next to the Markkleeberg Canoe Park there is the perfect opportunity to do so. Countless school classes from Leipzig were …

Great bathing opportunities. Because of the investments, you sometimes feel like you are on the small Côe d'Sure
