Strandbad Markkleeberg Ost (Markkleeberg Beach)

Highlight • Beach

The Strandbad Markkleeberg Ost, also called Markkleeberger beach, is a very popular beach for bathing friends from Leipzig and Markkleeberg. In the immediate vicinity is a paid parking, which is also controlled by coaches with many visitors. The beach itself is characterized by fine sand and lawns. The season is busy here. Therefore, one should strive at peak times further east towards Wachau beach. The effort will be rewarded with more space and peace! At the beach there is a fish stall, which offers delicious fish snacks. You can also just buy a coffee and then biking around the lake for about nine kilometers. Beautiful beach, clear water, shady trees on the lawn included.

View of Markkleeberger Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

What a view! Here you can see the Markkleeberger See - the gateway to Leipzig's New Lake District. This lake was created from the former Espenhain open-cast mine, where brown coal was mined from the 1930s to the mid-1990s. It has been open to the public since 2006.

Lake Markkleeberg

Highlight • Lake

The Markkleeberger lake originated from the former open pit as Espenhain. Between 1939 and 1994 lignite was mined here. After completion of the coal mining began in 1999, the flooding of the lake. The final stand has been reached at +113.0 m asl, so that the Markkleeberg Lake could be handed over to the public on 15.07.2006.

The varied circular route around the lake is ideal for hiking, cycling or a Segwaytour. There are cafés and restaurants on the lakeside promenade.

In 2013, the Kanuparkschleuse was completed. Thus, the Markkleeberger See is connected by an 800 m long canal passage with the neighboring Störmthaler See.

Markkleeberg Canoe Park

Highlight • Structure

It doesn't matter whether you just watch or bravely join one of the rafting adventures on offer: the Markkleeberg whitewater park is awesome! The facility was planned for Leipzig's bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. It is one of the most modern whitewater facilities with competition and training courses.

Rafting trips, whitewater and surfing courses are offered. If you are experienced, you can also train on your own in the facility. I also like to go for a swim there. ;) You can find out more at: kanupark-markkleeberg.com
