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.

We circled Lake Cospuden on good paths.

A nice lap around the lake, the weather was rather cloudy ... but the reward was delicious on the sandy beach. Is open until the end of January 2022 👍

Today I took advantage of the good weather to go for a run around Lake Cospuden. If you don't stubbornly walk on the asphalt, it's actually quite nice.

The sun wasn't in sight, but the weather wasn't that bad either. So a lap around the lake...

We still had time before our trip to Zwickau, so we spontaneously decided to walk around Lake Cospuden. Our starting point was Zöbigker.
First, we hiked toward the northern shore. We passed four establishments where you could get something to eat and drink, although not on a Wednesday morning in early October. But it wasn't a problem; we were prepared …

When Dad and I ran around Lake Süßer See in Seeburg, we ran 14.1 km. After recovering from leukemia, that remains my best result. Today we were at Lake Cospuden, and we managed a full 13.5 km!

We saw lots of people sunbathing on the beach and in the grass, or out on pedal cars, which was an unusual sight …

Always beautiful 😊 there were quite a lot of people out and about 😅 people even went swimming 😬 sun and a little breeze... everything was great 😀

Beautiful, varied tour along the lake shore 🌊 The Bistumshöhe observation tower with a view of the Leipzig skyline, the surrounding area and Belantis is highly recommended as a short detour. Also the adjacent game reserve and the harbor 😎
