Highland Cattle Pasture Parking

Highlight • Parking

In principle, all parking spaces around the lake are free. In the summer, the fishing club sometimes sits in the parking spaces and charges €2.
Perfectly fine, after all you are taking care of the area.

This one is particularly beautiful because the herds of Longhorn cattle and their young graze there.

View of the north shore of Bockwitzer See

Highlight • Viewpoint

Behind the grass and trees in the north of Lake Bockwitz you can always catch a glimpse of the water glistening in the sunlight. There is a beach on the northwest side.

View of Harald-Krug Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very beautiful shelter, next to it a memorial stone in memory of Harald Krug, a recognized conservationist.
From the hut you can observe the bird protection and breeding area of the little grebe, marsh harrier, bittern, lapwing or crane through hatches. An informative board explains the post-mining landscape of the Bockwitz nature reserve.

View of Bockwitzer Lake and surrounding fields

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Bockwitzer See was created as a post-mining landscape near Borna south of Leipzig from the former open-cast lignite mine Borna-Ost / Bockwitz, which was flooded from 1993 to 2005 by rising groundwater. The lake was named after the devastated Gut Bockwitz.
