Sailing on Lake Cospuden - Leipziger Neuseenland © Philipp Kirschner — © Philipp Kirschner

Lake Cospuden is also affectionately known as "Cossi". Its development into a lively leisure oasis is exemplary for the region.

The development of Lake Cospuden from an open-cast lignite mine to a lively leisure oasis is exemplary for the region. The Zöbigker harbour with its water sports facilities, restaurants, passenger boats, sauna, bike and boat hire is a popular meeting place for young and old. Saxony's longest sandy beach on the northern shore is ideal for swimming and beach volleyball. Water hikers can paddle along water course 1 from the city harbor in the heart of Leipzig to Lake Cospuden. There is a wonderful view from the Bistumshöhe tower over the Neue Harth and the BELANTIS amusement park.
