Very beautiful Berzdorfer See, was not there for a long time, would have to go again.
Then as now, beautiful bathing spots, today a lot more has been done towards gastronomy.

October 18, 2021,Umrundung vom Berzdorfer See 🌞⚓

The Bertzdorfer See is located south of Görlitz and it can be bypassed or circumnavigated on the lower and / or upper circular route (see photo 18). We chose the lower one. There are plenty of benches here, albeit sometimes quite hidden near the water 👍. There are always small entrances to the water and now and then large sandy …

Very nice tour on a mostly asphalted route!

No insider tip but definitely a very good recommendation 😊

Flooded quite young (until 2013) but already well developed and yet offers much more bathing opportunities than many other "opencast mining holes" 🙂

We have already seen a passenger ship ⛴️ but have not yet been able to find out whether it is operated 🤔

To start off a "mini short break" in Görlitz, this tour around the lake. The cycle path is mostly top-notch. Only on the "west coast" about 3 km are not asphalted, but are easily cycleable.

There are many beautiful lakes that were created from a leftover open-cast mine, but if you are accompanied by a mountain panorama - extra beautiful! …

The plan was 1x rum, 1x swim, 1x the other way around, swim again... then feast, bathe, sunbathe, feast, bathe... it turned out to be a round with constant interruptions here and look there, bratwurst there and waffles afterwards, as well enormous wind that bathing was spoiled a bit. A quarter of an hour in the lake was still possible. …

July 14, 2026,Berzdorfer See – See Runde von Hagenwerder (2026-07-14)

A relaxed lap around the Berzdorfer See. Almost the entire route is developed with a wide, asphalted cycle path and only approx. 2 km are on a well-passable gravel path, as well as a few hundred meters on a small side road. The lap is not 23.2 km long as indicated in Komoot's route suggestion, but only 15.6 km.

August 10, 2025,Vor dem Champagner-Brunch -1 x um den Berzdorfer See

Today we were invited to a champagne brunch on/in the Island of the Senses at Berzdorfer Lake. Since it doesn't start until 11:45 a.m., we loaded our bikes onto the trailer hitch and drove to Hagenwerder Harbor for a leisurely ride around the lake.
But:
Access was only possible after a police check. Several men in black suits and earpieces …
