Top 20 Lakes around Gerbstedt

Seeburg is dominated by the widely visible castle of the same name, which rises majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See. It is the western part of an old, very large refuge castle. Since the end of the 1990s, the castle has been in divided private ownership, and the owners have changed several times. This has meant that the castle has not yet been renovated, stands empty, and is falling into disrepair. The widow's tower and the castle church, on the other hand, have been renovated and are owned by an orchard estate. They are used as a residence, for holiday apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. With the new construction of the orangery on the lake promenade, another step towards tourist use has now been taken; with the architecturally sophisticated new building, year-round operation is possible.

The ship restaurant "Seeperle" has a turbulent past. In 1892, the paddle steamer left the shipyard in Dresden-Blasewitz and was christened "Graf Molthe". At that time, the steamer sailed under the Saxon-Bohemian flag on the Upper Elbe. In 1945, it was confiscated by Czechoslovakia. In 1947, it was renamed "Königstein" and operated for the "Weiße Flotte Dresden" until it was finally decommissioned in 1972. The then consumer cooperative Konsumgenossenschaft Eisleben bought the ship and converted it into a restaurant. The re-christening took place on July 7, 1973. The ship was now called "Seeperle" and became a restaurant with a bar on the Süßer See. In 1991, the ship restaurant was offered for sale again. The long-time chef Jürgen Meinecke acquired the restaurant and has been running it successfully ever since.

Here you can enjoy the wonderful lake feeling on wooden benches

A somewhat undefined section, this highlight. The north side of the lake: Starting from the Nordstrand car park (which can also be used as an ideal starting point for a bike tour), the road runs along the lake here (north side). Further along, it becomes a residential road, and after 2km, it is only a paved cycle path/footpath. It's a leisurely ride, with occasional access to the lake. The south side of the lake: Almost entirely a well-paved cycle path or residential road. Only the last section towards the east bank is a cycle path of normal quality. But there are beautiful views of the lake again and again, fantastic!

Starting from the Nordstrand car park (which can also be used as an ideal starting point for a bike tour), the road runs along the lake (north side). Further along the residential road, after 2km there is only an asphalt cycle path/footpath. It rolls along comfortably, every now and then there is access to the lake.

Cool location in the old paddle steamer - unfortunately only very crowded 😏.

Always worth a trip!! The food is very good and the service is friendly. We still like to think back to our first holiday in 1988 here at the campsite in Seeburg. The ship was already there back then.

The road is well paved here and I drove straight on here.
