It was created from a former brown coal open-pit mine and is part of Lausitzer Seenland, an open, flat landscape where numerous open-pit mines have been flooded. The expansive water surfaces and consistent wind make it a haven for sailors and surfers; a circular route invites cycling and hiking tours. Along the shore, beach areas, young woodland, and renaturalized areas alternate.
