Tips from the Community
Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

The ship's restaurant "Seeperle" has a rich history. In 1892, the passenger side-wheel steamer left the shipyard in Dresden-Blasewitz and was christened "Graf Molthe." At that time, the steamer sailed under the Saxon-Bohemian flag on the Upper Elbe. In 1945, it was confiscated by Czechoslovakia. In 1947, it was renamed "Königstein" and served with the "White Fleet Dresden" until its final decommissioning in 1972. The then Eisleben Consumer Cooperative purchased the ship and converted it into a restaurant. It was rechristened on July 7, 1973. This time, the ship was renamed "Seeperle" and became a restaurant with a bar on the Süßen See. In 1991, the ship's restaurant was again put up for sale. Long-time chef Jürgen Meinecke acquired the restaurant and has successfully run it ever since.

Somewhat undefined section, this highlight. The north side of the lake: Starting from the Nordstrand car park (which can also be used as an ideal starting point for a bike tour), the road runs along the lake (north side). Further along the residential road, after 2km there is only an asphalt cycle path/footpath. It rolls along comfortably, every now and then there is access to the lake. The south side of the lake: A perfectly asphalted cycle path or residential road almost throughout. Only the last stretch towards the east bank is a cycle path of normal quality. But always beautiful views of the lake, fantastic!

The name Heidesee is derived from the nearby forest area Dölauer Heide, on the southern edge of which the lake lies. After the coal was mined, the mine was closed in 1931. The Heidesee was created due to the rise in groundwater and the flooding of the remaining opencast mine when the mine was closed. It is approx. 800 m long, up to 300 m wide and has a water area of approx. 12.5 hectares. Source:https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heidesee_(Halle)
