Rules
The rules for Bike Lake Challenge Sachsen are very simple. Nevertheless, we would like to clarify them once again at this point:
- Melde Dich bei der Bike Lake Challenge Sachsen an!
- Um die Bike Lake Challenge Sachsen zu bezwingen und Dir die schöne Sammlermedaille zu verdienen, musst Du nach Deiner Anmeldung die zehn unten genannten Seen mit dem Fahrrad umrunden.
- Each lake must be circumnavigated "in one piece". This means that you are welcome to take breaks, but you should complete the lake within one day. Of course, you can divide the 10 lakes into different days. Do only one lake per day, because you want to enjoy this time!
- We trust you that you have really circumnavigated the lakes. However, if you want to be included in the time ranking, we need a copy of your tracking. We don't care what you use (watch, smartphone or app).
General PLEASE NOTE!
- Please note that the Road Traffic Act applies in public traffic areas and along roads and cycle paths. So move considerately.
- You circumnavigate the lakes at your own risk and at your own risk. The operator of this website assumes no liability.
- Please heed medical advice if necessary or have a medical examination before the start of the Challenge. You are responsible for your own health, equipment and condition. Breaking off a tour is not a disgrace, health always comes first!
Ein paar wichtige Regeln zum Umgang mit der Natur
- Please take into account the local instructions for the protection of nature.
- Bitte nicht abseits der Wege fahren.
- Please do not make noise.
- Please do not collect rocks or minerals.
- Please do not collect mushrooms.
- Please do not leave trash lying around.
- Please do not feed animals.
- Please do not make an open fire.
- Please do not pick plants.
This should be obvious to all of us, but it doesn't hurt to remember it from time to time.

The ten largest lakes in Saxony
In Sachsen ist es gar nicht so einfach die zehn größten Seen zu finden, denn vermeintliche, sächsische „Top-Ten-Seen“ wie z.B. der Große Golitzschesee liegt zu einem großen Teil in Sachsen Anhalt, was auch für den Seelhauser See gilt. Weitere große Seen liegen zum Teil in Sachsen und Brandenburg. Der Pereser See ist zwar geplant, aber noch nicht vollständig geflutet, das Speicherbecken Lohsa II ist manchmal richtig groß, wenige Wochen später wird es fast vollständig abgelassen. Du siehst schon, die Auswahl war nicht ganz einfach. Aber wir haben konsequent geforscht und für Dich die zehn größten, rein sächsischen Seen herausgefunden.
Most of Saxony's large lakes were created as open-cast mining lakes or from reservoirs. We have chosen the following, ten largest lakes in Saxony, and they all have their own charm and appeal and invite you to explore their shore areas and the wonderful, adjacent places. They are very special because they were all artificially created by man and here you can see how nature reclaims everything.
Bärwald lake
Der Bärwalder See ist der größte See Sachsens und der drittgrößte See des Lausitzer Seenlandes. Der See entstand aus dem Restloch des Tagebaus Bärwalde. Er wurde im Jahr 1997 geflutet. Der entstandene Stausee wird hauptsächlich von der Spree gespeist. Um den Bärwalder See zu umrunden, musst Du ca. 20 Kilometer bewältigen.

Lake Zwenkau
Lake Zwenkau is located about 10 kilometers south of Leipzig and is part of the Leipzig Neuseenland. As the name implies, it is also an artificial lake created from a former open-cast mining hole, which is now beautiful to look at and has become a valuable recreational area.
You have to reckon with about 22 kilometers to go around Lake Zwenkau, but going around on foot is wonderful, because there is a real circular route and a lot to see.
Tour recommendation to circumnavigate Lake Zwenkau:
Lake Berzdorf
The Berzdorfer See, located south of Görlitz, was also created by flooding a residual hole from open-cast lignite mining between the year 2002 and 2013. Nature has already reclaimed much of this lake as well, making it greener and more beautiful from year to year.
Für eine Umrundung musst Du ca. 17 Kilometer (je nach Tour) zurücklegen.

Lake Störmthal
Lake Störmthal, which is located south of Leipzig, is also a flooded open pit mine. It used to be the site of the Espenhain open-pit lignite mine. It has been completely flooded since 2012 and since then nature has successfully reclaimed the area. By the way, the mining technology park located right next to the lake is an interesting excursion destination. By the way, the circular route around Lake Störmthal is about 23.5km long (depending on the route used).

Quitzdorf Dam
The Quitzdorf Dam is the largest dam in Saxony and is managed in conjunction with the Bautzen Dam. The nature of the Quitzdorf dam is untouched and especially anglers appreciate this lake for its abundance of fish. The Quitzdorf Landscape Protection Area has been proclaimed around it. A circumnavigation challenges you on about 21 kilometers.

Lake Scheibe
Lake Scheibe (also called Speicher Scheibe), located in the east of Hoyerswerda, is also a flooded open-cast mining residual hole. The western shore is particularly popular, as locals like to swim at the developed beach section there. A circumnavigation of Scheibe Lake is about 13 kilometers long.
Suggestions for tours around the lake Scheibe
Reservoir Borna
The Borna reservoir (Wasserspeicher Borna) is also a flooded former stockpile, but was flooded in 1980 and has thus been completely reclaimed by nature. Located in the district of Leipzig, the lake today covers the former villages of Blumroda, Hartmannsdorf, Görnitz and Altdeutzen. For a circumnavigation of the reservoir Borna have to reckon with about 14 kilometers, because it is not always possible to walk exactly on the shore paths.
Suggested tours around the reservoir Borna
Bautzen dam
The Bautzen Dam is located in the Upper Lusatia region of Saxony and is fed by the Spree River. The dam is mainly used for the permanent water supply of the Boxberg power plant, but in the meantime it is used as a recreational and fishing water. For a circumnavigation of the Bautzen dam you have to reckon with about 13 kilometers.

Lake Werbelin
Lake Werbelin was also created by flooding the Delitzsch-Südwest open pit mine on the territory of the former village of Werbelin. Thus, it also belongs to the opencast mining lakes. A circumnavigation here is 11.5km long and has its own charm.

Burghammer Reservoir (Bernstein Lake)
The Burghammer reservoir is also called Lake Bernstein by the locals. It is located in Upper Lusatia near Hoyerswerda and this lake is also an artificially flooded open-cast mine residual hole. The inflow comes from Lohsa II, the water drains into the Kleine Spree. If you want to go around the Burghammer reservoir, you have to calculate with about 12 kilometers.
