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.

Very nice bike path around the lake, which should be renewed in many places due to asphalt faults. The faults are so extreme in some places that you can only go step by step.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The board provides information about the mining landscape of Zwenkau/Cospuden. It is informative and worth reading.
You also have a very good view of the lake from here.
