You are guest at the hotel "Gut am See" and you would like to relax while jogging along the lake? Then this tour is the right for you. It offers both straight stretches and an ascent and you can feel the fresh air while running.

Due to its asphalted ways, Berzdorf Lake is a very popular destination to go jogging, to cycle and to skate. If you would like to start at the hotel "Insel der Sinne", have a look at our second tour "Tour along the Berzdorf Lake and through Hagenwerder".

Directions

Start the tour at the hotel "Gut am See" and run towards Berzdorf Lake. Berzdorf Lake is a former opencast mining, which was flooded and is now a natural paradise and local recreation area. Turn right and run in the direction of the car park. Just before it, turn sharply left onto a path to the lake. At the lake run towards "Blaue Lagune". At "Blaue Lagune" turn left and run up the hill towards the car park. Follow the main street towards Tauchritz.

You will reach a fork in the road, at this point you will see an old shelter above ground. Turn left and pass the shelter. Now run straight ahead. After a barrier there is a path into a forest (downhill) on the right - turn right here. Now you will reach a clearing and you can see the lake again. Run along the way to the hotel "Gut am See".

This tour can also be recommended for a walk with the family.
