View of the north shore of Bockwitzer See

Highlight • Viewpoint

Behind the grass and trees in the north of Lake Bockwitz you can always catch a glimpse of the water glistening in the sunlight. There is a beach on the northwest side.

Rest spot with a swing

Highlight • Rest Area

On the loop around the lake, you don't often get to see the water. The terrain is heavily overgrown except for the north side. That's why you should take the swing for a break.

August 21, 2024,Mit'm Reesl um den Bockwitzer See 😌

Since I'm still carrying my rose belt around with me, but don't want to just sit around, I thought, oh, a walk with the dog would be OK too. So I packed Reesl in the car, drove through Borna and off to Bockwitzer Lake. As is usual in this area, this lake was also created by open-cast mining. Unfortunately, there …

Today we started in the free parking lot 🅿️... a lap around the Bockwitzer See 🌊🥾
Unfortunately you don't see much of the lake during the lap, you just catch a glimpse now and then. But it was a nice rustle through the autumn forest 🍂 🍁😎☀️

If I have one with me, it won't rain.

If we want to circumnavigate a new lake in the Leipziger Neuseenland in a very natural way, this is the right place. Apart from a few pens for horses and other food animals, there are hardly any signs of civilization. Like 20 years ago when the lake was new. ;)

Pretty dull path, the view of the lake is mostly blocked by trees. 🤨

Planned for a long time and today the weather was fine and off we went, but this round is not recommended as a hike because you only have a little clear view of the lake.

Rounded the Bockwitzer See at the end of April in the best weather. You are almost alone here. On the east side you can see little of the lake. You can't get to the water through the fences, which is a shame. But all sorts of animals and plants and peace...
