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.

June 21, 2025,GÖRLITZ - Rund um den Berzdorfer See

GÖRLITZ - Around Lake Berzdorf:
We started at the Park Hotel in Görlitz, and after about 7 km we reached the northern shore of Lake Berzdorf. Until then, we cycled along the Oder-Neisse Cycle Path.
Lake Berzdorf consists of the remaining pit of the former Berzdorf open-cast lignite mine, which was flooded from 2002 to the beginning of 2013. With …

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! …

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 🤔
