LEINEN LOS UND SCHIFF AHOI!

The passenger boat service in Leipzig's Neuseenland invites you to take a 1- or 2-hour round trip on Lake Markkleeberg and Lake Störmthal from April to October. It is possible to get on and off at various landing stages. Stollen and mulled wine cruises are also offered in November and December. Special trips for family, company, Christmas or wedding celebrations are also possible.

The passenger ships offer space for 120 to 400 passengers, and a wide range of on-board catering is available. They are barrier-free, air-conditioned and heated.
