From the hustle and bustle of the city through the green alluvial forest to Leipzig's Neuseenland.
The circular tour from Leipzig's city center to Lake Cospuden combines urban flair with the enjoyment of nature. From the city center, the route heads south past historic sights such as St. Thomas Church and through Clara Zetkin Park and the green alluvial forest.
Lake Cospuden, also known as "Cossi" by the people of Leipzig, was created from a former open-cast mining area and offers beautiful stretches of beach and numerous leisure activities by the water. So be sure to pack your swimming gear! The 28-kilometre route is mostly flat and leads along well-maintained cycle paths into the countryside. Along the circular route around the Cossi, numerous snack bars, bistros and restaurants at the harbor invite you to take a short break. On the return journey, the view of Leipzig's city greenery opens up once again before the tour ends in the heart of the city center - a perfect mix of city experience and relaxation by the water.
