Around the Zwenkauer See. Start was at the parking lot in Markkleeberg. The tour is easy and easy to drive. In many places you have the opportunity to rest and have a picnic. The tour is ideal for traveling with children.

The picture at 13.6 km shows a ford that at the time was only passable with swimming trunks 😊. It's probably not suitable for the e-bike. That's why I went back.

For 78 years, coal was mined in the Zwenkau open-cast mine and now sailors glide through the waters in the same place. The history of Lake Zwenkau actually begins in the late 17th century. That was when the first brown coal was found in the southern Leipzig area.🥾🚲😊

The beautiful sunset was from last night!!
