The flooding of the open-cast mining areas around the central German cultural metropolis of Leipzig created almost 70km² of new waters and opportunities by 2015. A total of 10 lakes were created, 7 of which are in the immediate vicinity of the hotel.
Lake Cospuden, which covers more than 400 hectares, is 8 minutes away by bike. The maritime lifestyle and exquisite transport links have made it a magnet for visitors to the Leipziger Neuseenland.
A 10 km long asphalted circular path invites you to go cycling, inline skating and walking. A 1.4 km long city beach provides relaxing bathing fun.
Surprisingly diverse natural refuges can be found around the “southern tip”. In the area of the “Neue Harth”, a new hiking area with marked trails and information boards has developed, which opens up a wide variety of landscapes in a small area.
With its emerging recreational facilities on the north shore of the lake, the large water area and the many green spaces around the lake, Lake Zwenkau will be a highlight for recreation seekers, water sports enthusiasts and visitors.
To the south of Lake Markkleeberg is its big brother, Lake Störmthal. The Mining Technology Park is a visible attraction even from a distance. You can visit the floating culture island VINETA > by ferry.
The jewel in the Neuse landscape. Idyllic paths and many well-signposted cycling and hiking trails around the lake. Optionally with alpacas.
Yes, alpacas.
Lake Markkleeberg is 252 hectares in size and has several beach sections as well as a 9.7-kilometre-long, asphalted lakeside circular trail.
Directly on the lake or in the immediate vicinity are, for example, the Markkleeberg Canoe Park, an ALL-on-SEA water sports base, the Markkleeberg Lake Climbing Park, the Seepark Auenhain holiday resort, the model construction park, a campsite, various cafés and restaurants and the passenger boat service with three different tours on offer.
