Zwenkauer See, Recreational reservoir in Leipzig, Germany
The Zwenkauer See spans 970 hectares of water surface with a 22-kilometer shoreline and reaches depths of 49 meters in its deepest sections.
The lake emerged from a former lignite mine that operated until 1999, requiring the relocation of Eythra village and the modification of local water channels.
The annual NeuSeenLand Music Festival at Kap Zwenkau brings together performers from different countries, establishing the lake as a regional entertainment center.
Visitors can access the lake through multiple entry points, with parking facilities along the harbor street and regular bus connections to the KAP Zwenkau station.
The lake functions as a flood control system for Leipzig by managing water flow from the Weiße Elster river during high water periods.
