Hiking

The Ludwigsee was the oldest coal mine in the Goitzsche. By the time of reunification in 1990, it had already been mined out and a small lake had been created. The groundwater, which rose until 2007, caused the lake to grow to over 100 hectares. The Ludwigsee was initially fenced off for many years because its steep banks and unrehabilitated slopes were prone to landslides. After the final water level was reached, the dangerous steep edges were secured by blasting and the fence could be dismantled. The gradual development of the bank area can be clearly observed here.

Lake Ludwig near Holzweißig (Saxony-Anhalt) is an idyllic natural bathing lake that originated from a former open-cast lignite mine in Holzweißig-West. It offers a popular sandy beach with a designated swimming area, good water quality, and is a peaceful destination for hikers and cyclists near Bitterfeld.
