The group associated with it also organises some of the best fun events of the city: the bathtub regatta, the soapbox derby, the naTo-cup (football), Bollywood in Leipzig and has also been caring for the restoration of the historic GDR advert 'Löffelfamilie'; which shows a family eating soup (donations urgently needed).

It's a fantastic little venue with cult status and as one of my favourite places only suitable for nice, friendly, open-minded, easy-going and in general just lovely people.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17277 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8137 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]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8137 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7085
Read newspapers in any language, or work on your laptop. They have free WLAN, so it's deal for hanging out while working online, just surfing, or even reading the Guardian! The menu is good and reasonably priced. Breakfasts are excellent, however the coffee is the typical German barely-tolerable lukewarm stuff… try to think of it as something else and put up with it. Having said that, it’s still one of the city’s top (secret) locations.

It's between the end of Barfussgässchen (where all the tourists and village Germans go) and the main ring road. Walk towards the Stasi Museum (worth visiting!) and you´ll find Telegraph on the right.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7085 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7014 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7014 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6769 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6769 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6397 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6397 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7074 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7074 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7038 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7038
