Lake Zwenkau
The largest lake in southern Leipzig's Neuseenland region is best discovered from the water - by paddling, sailing or on a round trip on the MS Santa Barbara. The harbor with restaurants, boat rental, tourist information, diving center and vacation apartments is a popular destination. Once a year, Lake Zwenkau turns into a cultural stage when the "NeuSeenLand Musikfest am Kap Zwenkau" (New Lake Land Music Festival at Cape Zwenkau) attracts artists from all over the world. The surrounding Eichholz and Neue Harth forest areas are ideal for long walks and hikes.
