The underwater world of the post-mining-lakes offers interesting opportunities for divers. The following local lakes are open to divers, amongst others:
Five huge lignite excavators escaped scrapping. Today, these steel giants are bearing witness to a bygone industrial era in the „Ferropolis“. In the year 2000, flooding the mine Golpa-Nord near Gräfenhainichen resulted in a recreational area.
Lake Edderitz near Köthen hails sun-seekers with 400 meters of sandy beach at the Edderitz lakeside resort. The water quality is exceptional, making the lake more than suitable for bathing. Various sports, among them swimming, diving, skating, cycling, jogging, and even biathlon are catered for here.
Der Goitzschesee ist ein landschaftlicher Juwel mit einem breiten Angebot für Wassersportler, Erholungssuchende und Naturliebhaber. Er lädt Besucher zum Baden, Radfahren, Segeln, Tauchen und Surfen ein. Mehrere Badestellen, das Wassersportzentrum und ein moderner Wakepark bieten beste Voraussetzung für Wassersportler.
At Lake Gröbern, proximity to nature rules. A modern vacation resort welcomes families, people seeking peace, and water sports enthusiasts to the Dübener Heide.
To the west of the town of Gräfenhainichen lies Lake Möhlau, idyllically set between pine forests. The lake area with its gently sloping shore, its sandy beach and its sunbathing lawn offers a terraced design. Its shores host a fishing lodge, a camping site and two bungalow settlements.
Lake Bergwitz is located south of Wittenberg on the edge of the Düben Heath. As early as the 1960s, the former open pit mine “Roberts Hoffnung” (Robert’s Hope) became an idyllic lake. Sailors, surfers, stand up paddlers and other fans of activities on the water have fun on about 180 hectares of water.
