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.

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

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 …

With the best weather we were out and about at the 2 lakes today. A little detour here and there, a swim, a bike ride, iced coffee and a bit of craftsmanship...a perfect day.

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 …
