It's not Knappenrode, it's Boxberg. Knappenrode only had a briquette factory. Please change the title.

The cycle path around the lake is currently being resurfaced with asphalt. Afterwards, it will be suitable for cyclists and especially inline skaters. 👍🏻

Whenever possible, we go to the beach. It's simply fantastic and the water is excellent. Highly recommended. We also feel at home at Hippo's Beach Bar. Good food and good value for money. Parking is €1 for two hours and €3 for the whole day. Keep it up, and it's unbeatable.

The beach bar is a possibility - even in the absence of other options....

Great idea, everything you need for a small repair is there and an air pump is also included.

The Scheibe open-cast mine, or Šibojska jama in Upper Sorbian, was a lignite open-cast mine that operated from 1985 to 1996 east of Hoyerswerda in the Lusatian lignite mining area. In 1986/1987, the town of Scheibe, which gave it its name, and the developments of the town of Burg, located to the north, had to make way for it. After mining operations ceased, Lake Scheibe emerged as a post-mining landscape. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau_Scheibe
