Goitzschesee Promenade and Harbor

Highlight • Lake

The lake has been approved for tourism and water sports since 2005. It was rehabilitated by a mining management company, because before that it was part of the Goitzsche lignite mine. There are three swimming pools around the lake: goitzsche-tourismus.de.

May 10, 2024,🚶‍♀️🎒Goitzsche/Seelhausener See Rundweg

Today we went on stage 3 of 10🚶‍♀️💪. That is probably the longest. It wasn't that bad 😇. Although there are constant prohibition signs, the entrances are used diligently for swimming 🏊‍♂️. The circular route is also a cycle path. I sometimes felt lost. Of course there was also a construction site. People had a long weekend 😅. I was …

IRON LAKE CHALLENGE SAXONY-ANHALT

It was a wonderful, albeit long, round today. It seems like a dream - suddenly there is a local recreation area here! The darkness of “Go Trabi go” is gone and no longer true.

July 14, 2024,Iron Lake Challange | Grosse Goitzschesee

Unfortunately, the hiking trails near the lake were so overgrown that they were actually impassable. We tried several times, but always ended up going back to the cycle route. It was much worse than at the Mulde reservoir, where at least there was a continuous footpath.

A bit monotonous (cycle route) with little hidden (discovery) gems around the lake.

April 6, 2024,Rund um die Goitzsche

One of the lakes that must be circumnavigated for the IronLakeChallenge Saxony-Anhalt. Old open-cast mine. Almost completely asphalted, but very scenic, especially the Goitzsche wilderness, you can see the mast of the 24-hour osprey webcam from NaBu! Lots of cyclists and e-bikers as well as inline skaters on the way, but never an obstacle thanks to the wide paths. Refreshments/supplies …

Today a completely different tour to Thursday. Lots of asphalt, no elevation gain. But it also had its good sides. It started with scraping ice off the car. How I love a start like that😃
The fog created a nice atmosphere and pictures at the beginning. Now I should have made it to all the larger lakes in the Leipzig …

The nature is indescribably beautiful. There's so much to discover. It's a shame that most of the route is paved; it makes your feet quite tired. Since the route is less than 30km, I ended up on the Bitterfelder Bogen.
