The Cospudener See in the south of Leipzig is a prime example of the regional development from an open-cast mining area to a vibrant tourism region.

Here you will find watersports providers, restaurants, cafés, etc. The Scandinavian-style harbor at Zöbigker radiates a very special atmosphere. The dune-like sandy beach on the north shore is also known as the longest sandy beach in Saxony. In the south, the Bistumshöhe observation tower offers a fascinating view over the Neue Harth forest area. The Cospudener See can be circled on an asphalted shore path.

Directions

The circular hiking trail around the Cospudener See begins at Kee'scher Park in Markkleeberg. You follow the Lauersche Weg on the north of the lake. You cross the route of the Green Ring Leipzig and keep left on the asphalted path to continue the circular lake route. At the fork of Lauersche Weg turning right, keep left again and continue following the shore path. The long straight on the west side of the lake finally leads you to the Bistumshöhe observation tower in the south of the Cospudener See. A view over the lake landscape is always worthwhile. In the south you pass the bison enclosure and continue along the asphalted path until you reach the harbor Zöbigker. After a short climb, turn left there to get onto the east shore path. You pass the east beach and the Seehaus Cospuden until you return on a longer straight section on the east shore path again to the north beach and the starting point.
