The south of Leipzig, a former opencast mining area, has been flooded over the last ten years and turned into a series of relaxing lakes. Cospudner is the first of these.
Hire a bike in the city, and cycle the 20 mins through the wonderful parks and forest to the lake, where you can take a dip in the water, and have lunch at the harbour, or even cycle the 10 km around the lake

Spend a lush day strolling around the network of parks just south-west of the city’s inner core. Beginning just behind the Neues Rathaus and sprawling out towards the leafy Plagwitz district, the Johanna Park and the Clara Zetkin Park (into which the Johanna merges) are filled with gardens, woodlands, lakes, Japanese-style bridges, inquisitive red squirrels, and eventually a full-blown river (Weisse Elster).
