March 1, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "Sachsen" - See-Nr. 3: Berzdorfer See

A weekend trip to Upper Lusatia, why not, I thought to myself. 😃
On my way there I drove straight through to Görlitz, the easternmost city in Germany. The Lusatian Neisse also flows here, as a border river to our neighboring country Poland.

A rest day with a student meeting in Zittau – oh, that was lovely (!) – and the next hiking day begins. This time it's another Saxon lake, and Gerd and a college buddy are coming along, so I don't have to walk alone. Our destination is Lake Berzdorf, the third-largest in Saxony. The sun is shining on us, and …

November 16, 2021,Rund um den Berzdorfer See

The route was not very demanding, there were no mountains. The surface takes some getting used to for the hiker, because the asphalt is more intended for bicycles ... we felt that afterwards. In return, the hotel “Island of the Senses” was a fantastic wellness and culinary ambassador ☺️ and also compensates for troubled soles of the feet 👍🏼

Brown coal was mined south of Görlitz for 170 years. This ended in 1997 and after renovation measures, a water paradise was created on land🚴‍♂️🚶‍♂️🏃‍♂️ and on water🏊‍♂️🎣⛵.
The circumnavigation is possible on the lower and/or upper lake circular path. We chose the bottom one. We mostly had asphalt under our feet and in one section it was a pleasant …
