In the last 20 years the former vast brown coal opencast mining area in the south of Leipzig has been closed down und flooded. The result is a huge lake district with lake Cospuden as its central highlight. Today this lake with its surroundings forms the favourite recreational area of the Leipzigers and offers all kinds of sports, outdoor activities, gastronomy and is one of the hottest party locations in town. Swimming, sailing, wind and kite surfing, canoeing, skating, cycling or just sun bathing and flirting - everything is possible at lake Cospuden. There are also several beach ball places, a golf course, shops, cafés, beer gardens and a sauna. And just around the corner is lake Markkleeberg - another promising "waterworld".
