This former quarry promises a quick way to cool off: With no beach or shallow entry points, the only way into the water is via small rocky outcrops. https://www.geo.de/reisen/reise-inspiration/tollertbruch_30153942-30167826.html

A popular bathing lake is Lake Albrechtshainer, also known colloquially as the Autobahnsee (Autobahnsee). Gravel from this area was used for the construction of the nearby Autobahn 14 starting in 1936. This is how this popular recreational spot for bathers and campers came into being. https://stadt-brandis.de/brandis-erleben/naherholung/

The Spittelbruch Kleinsteinberg quarry is located east of Leipzig, between Naunhof and Brandis. The quarry was created by the extraction of granite porphyry and covers an area of 1.47 hectares. The Spittelbruch is located in a forest on Kleinsteinberger Straße. The quarry has wooded banks. The banks slope steeply and gradually descend into the depths. On the western shore, there is a shallow water zone with weed beds and dead wood in the water. Hot spots are generally found near rocky outcrops and objects in the water. Compared to the surrounding quarries, the Spittelbruch has a meager fish population. https://www.fisch-hitparade.de/gewaesser/spittelbruch-kleinsteinberg/

Lake Albrechtshainer See covers 24 hectares, is up to 6 meters deep, and has a shoreline of 2 kilometers. A popular swimming lake, Lake Albrechtshainer See is also known locally as the Autobahnsee (Autobahn Lake). Starting in 1936, gravel from this area was used to build the nearby Autobahn 14 motorway. This is how this popular recreational spot for swimming and camping enthusiasts was created. https://stadt-brandis.de/brandis-erleben/naherholung/

Here, you'll find the remains of the former elevator for the quarried stone from the Kirchbruch (church quarry), two five-meter-high reinforced concrete columns. In 1988, the idea arose to use these columns to display the stone used in the former GDR. Graphic designer Gerd Nawrot and the geologists from "Elbnaturstein Dresden" advised on the implementation. The surrounding area was designed by the municipality. To this day, granite, syenite, quartz porphyry, metabasalt (formerly diabase), and syenite granite from eastern Germany can be compared and admired here. https://geopark-porphyrland.de/geopark/industriekultur/abbauen/granitporphyr-aus-beucha/

The 1984 Stone Workers' Monument stands on August-Bebel-Straße. Figurative representations were deliberately omitted to emphasize the stonemason, not the sculptor. Leipzig sculptor Hans Förster designed the stone column. https://geopark-porphyrland.de/geopark/industriekultur/abbauen/granitporphyr-aus-beucha/

For the construction of the Battle of the Nations Monument from 1911 to 1913, approximately 80 percent of the stone for the exterior and interior cladding of the concrete structure came from the "Sorge" quarry; the origin of the remaining 20 percent is still unknown. During the construction of the monument and the manufacture of its monumental figures, granite porphyry became known as Beucha stone. For the construction project, 26,500 stone blocks were mined in Beucha, processed, and transported to Leipzig. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beucha_(Brandis)
