Lake Zwochauer See is a residual opencast mining lake located 9 km southwest of Delitzsch and 21 km northwest of Leipzig in Saxony. It originated from a smaller remaining pit of the Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine, which was closed in 1993, and is located in the municipality of Wiedemar in the district of North Saxony. It is part of the Central German Lake District. The lake has been flooded since 1998, and the flooding period is planned to end in 2054. The source of the floodwater is a natural groundwater upwelling. The goal is to create a bathing water with mesotrophic to eutrophic conditions. The following fish species can be found in the lake: eel, perch, bream, bream, pike, crucian carp, carp, roach, and rudd.[1] Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwochauer_See
