AI-generated illustrative imageThe Cospudener See is located directly south of Leipzig in Saxony and is part of the Leipziger Neuseenland. It was created by flooding a former brown coal open-pit mine and was redesigned around the turn of the millennium into a recreational area. Today, a shallow sandy beach, a harbour and a waterfront promenade characterize the landscape; the lake is a popular bathing and sailing destination. Young forests and green spaces have grown on the reclaimed dump areas all around it.
