VINETA on Lake Störmthal

  • Viewpoint/viewing tower
  • Worth seeing
The VINETA on Lake Störmthal is an extraordinary floating venue in the south of Leipzig.
With a height of 15 meters, the VINETA on Lake Störmthal is currently the tallest floating structure on a German lake and is a reminder of the places that had to make way for opencast lignite mining.

As an excursion destination, the "floating church" can be reached with the VINETA ferry and can be hired for exclusive events, conferences and private celebrations. The Krystallpalast Varieté Leipzig organizes concerts and readings and conducts wedding ceremonies together with the registry office in Großpösna 

You can find out more about Vineta and other excursion destinations in and around Leipzig in the podcast "Willkommen in Leipzig"
