View of Lake Zwenkau

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Since the Zwenkauer See is not yet fully developed, it is not yet overrun. That makes him attractive to me.

A circumnavigation is worthwhile, the riverside path is ideal for hikes.

South tip of Lake Zwenkau

Highlight • Lake

Southernmost tip of the lake in the east of Zwenkau. Here and there there are nice little places for swimming, including nudism. Nice and relaxed, not as crowded as the Cossi.

Educational Boat Exhibit at Lake Zwenkau

Highlight • Structure

While the children can play captain, the parents have time to read the two information boards in peace. Small mooring for boats.

Another very enjoyable group hike, organized via Meet5.

With lots of conversation, the 20 km flew by. It was a great success.

My extra challenge of arriving by public transport also worked out perfectly today. 👍😉

April 21, 2024,lron Lake Challenge Sachsen Tour 7: Zwenkauer See

At 4 degrees and a stormy wind, we started our 7th tour from the free parking lot shortly before 10 a.m. I had planned 20.4 km, but we ran 22.5 km because some of the komoot paths went through the water 🙈 and it was just too cold for us today. 🤣 In some places you have a very nice …

This hike is our second tour of the Iron Lake Challenge Saxony and the Zwenkau Lake is on the agenda. We start our tour on the lake promenade in Zwenkau and walk the 20 kilometers clockwise. Sometimes it goes directly along the water, sometimes a little further up, sometimes natural and sometimes tarred. Our plan is always accompanied by rays …

April 27, 2024,Wanderung um den Zwenkauer See

Lake Zwenkau is simply beautiful. In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful lakes in Leipzig's New Lake District. Not as overrun as Lake Cospuden and similar to Lake Störmthal. The hike is relatively easy, but you shouldn't underestimate the 21 kilometers. The hike takes a long time, especially when the lake is flooded. Then various paths along …

Today we ran the 20 km training lap at a brisk pace without any significant breaks. Charly did a great job again and is running as confidently as ever. The daily training and physiotherapy are clearly paying off 😃😌💪🙏

April 17, 2025,Zwenkauer See - Start und Ende am Zwenkauer Hafen

Unfortunately, Lake Zwenkau isn't my favorite. Anyone wanting to walk around it should bring a blanket. There are no real rest areas. There are beautiful little islands where many birds live. Unfortunately, you can also hear the highway for a long time, which is a real shame. So the birds' calls are quickly drowned out.
