October 3, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge Sachsen - See 9 - Werbeliner See
What a difference from yesterday, weather-wise! A bright blue sky greets me at the paddle wheel monument. 17 meters in diameter, what a giant. Such giants burrowed through the mining landscape. So today, another open-cast mining lake awaits me. This one, the Werbeliner See, was created by the Delitzsch-Südwest/Breitenfeld open-cast mine and was flooded from 1998 to 2010. The shoreline …

The Werbeliner See was created from the flooded Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine, in which brown coal was mined from 1976 to 1993.
Since 2006, the Werbeliner See with the islands on the west side has been a European bird sanctuary, which also includes the Grabschützer See with its ridges and the Zwochauer See. The latter are also former Delitzsch-Südwest opencast mine …

The Werbeliner See is a real beauty! That's probably why it's a nature reserve.
We kept seeing older people, mostly pensioners, it should be said 😅🙈, who were making themselves really comfortable with blankets, parasols and folding chairs. Swimming and enjoying the weather.
So we thought: Well then, let's cool down a bit. 😅.

Today a lap around the lake. The places Werbelin and Kattersnaundorf were searched for and not found. The story is sad, if you have time, you should google it. But the sun was shining beautifully in winter and almost 10 degrees, so it turned out to be a nice spring walk 😊

April 29, 2023,Werbeliner See in Sa.
On the way to the Walpurgis Night witches we made another stop. Today we explored the NSG Werbeliner See. The thick rain cloud that hung over us all the time spared us. A beautiful circular hiking trail that could be explored on the one hand right on the edge of the bank. The way back was a little further away …

98% asphalt path without shelter and mining area with entry / bathing ban. The remains of the large-scale backer from days gone by are worth seeing. Also the Strand Theater on the lake shore.
