During this bike tour around Berzdorfer See near Görlitz, you will get to know the surroundings. Enjoy the various places to stop and eat by the lake.

A paradise for water lovers has emerged in the last decade due to the renaturation of a mining landscape directly on the southern city boundary of Görlitz. The nearly 1,000-hectare and 72-meter deep Berzdorfer See is not only the fifth-largest lake in Saxony but also one of the most popular.
The 16 km long mostly paved path around the lake passes bathing areas, playgrounds, and a nature reserve (here you must dismount and push your bike!). Along the shore and its immediate surroundings, cyclists, skaters, and hikers enjoy nature and views all year round. Water sports enthusiasts such as surfers, sailors, and stand-up paddlers can fully indulge their passion on Berzdorfer See. A boat trip on the water with EMS Berzdorf is a beautiful experience. Simply swimming is of course also possible – you can dive into the crystal-clear and refreshing lake water from several beach areas.
