Erholungspark Lößnig-Dölitz

Erholungspark Lößnig-Dölitz, Recreational park in southern Leipzig, Germany

The park extends across 95 hectares of meadows, forests, and water features, including three ponds connected by walking and cycling paths.

The area transformed from a lignite mining site that operated until 1959 into a recreational space between 1975 and 1984.

The park includes a forest arboretum spanning six hectares, displaying various tree species from North America, Asia, and Europe.

The park contains multiple playgrounds, a restaurant named Zur Schäferei, and connects to public transport via tram lines 10 and 16.

The Silbersee lake formed naturally through a funnel-shaped collapse of an unfilled mining tunnel in the central area of the park.
