A popular bathing lake is Lake Albrechtshainer, also known colloquially as the Autobahnsee (Autobahnsee). Gravel from this area was used for the construction of the nearby Autobahn 14 starting in 1936. This is how this popular recreational spot for bathers and campers came into being. https://stadt-brandis.de/brandis-erleben/naherholung/

The Spittelbruch Kleinsteinberg quarry is located east of Leipzig, between Naunhof and Brandis. The quarry was created by the extraction of granite porphyry and covers an area of 1.47 hectares. The Spittelbruch is located in a forest on Kleinsteinberger Straße. The quarry has wooded banks. The banks slope steeply and gradually descend into the depths. On the western shore, there is a shallow water zone with weed beds and dead wood in the water. Hot spots are generally found near rocky outcrops and objects in the water. Compared to the surrounding quarries, the Spittelbruch has a meager fish population. https://www.fisch-hitparade.de/gewaesser/spittelbruch-kleinsteinberg/
