View of Lake Cospuden

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice view. Quiet beach. The only thing that bothers me is maybe the many algae, but it didn't bother me.

South Tip of Lake Cospuden

Highlight • Lake

In addition to the diocese height, the southern tip is one of the best views of the lake. From here you can also quickly reach Lake Zwenkau. Especially on clear days it can straighten out a bit in this direction and with luck you will find some quieter paths.

Lake Cospuden

Highlight • Lake

Hard to believe: Lake Cossi originated from a dusty coal mine. By 1990, 87 million tons of lignite had been mined, and only after massive public demand was the open-cast mine shut down. Flooding began in 1993 with groundwater and water from neighboring open-cast mines. By 2000, the surrounding area had been developed as a local recreation area. Today, Lake Cospuden is part of the southern New Lake District.

Cospudener See

Highlight • Lake

With a circular route of almost 12 km and three paths to choose from, it is very well developed and there are plenty of restaurants. There are a few additional options for activities, such as the tower, play areas for children, surfing and sailing or cycling around the lake with several seats. Swimming or chilling options...
