The 18 km long hike around the lake leads you past bathing spots, playgrounds, and through a nature reserve. On the shore, you enjoy nature and the wonderful views all year round.

A paradise for water enthusiasts has emerged in the last decade as a result of the renaturation of an open-cast mining landscape directly on the southern city border of Görlitz. The almost 1,000-hectare and 72-meter deep Berzdorf Lake is not only the fifth largest lake in Saxony but also one of the most popular.
Water sports enthusiasts such as surfers, sailors, and stand-up paddlers can fully indulge their passion at Berzdorf Lake. Simply swimming is, of course, also possible – you can dive into the crystal-clear and refreshing lake water from several beach areas.
And in winter, you can be enchanted by the wintry flair of the lake and its landscape.
