The Geierswalder See, in Upper Sorbian Lejnjanski jězor, is a former open-cast mine lake. It is located mostly in the Free State of Saxony, northwest of Hoyerswerda, and partly in Brandenburg. The villages of Geierswalde and Kleinkoschen, a district of Senftenberg, are located directly on the lake. Source: Wikipedia

The canal at the foot of the Rostiger Nagel is the Sornoer Kanal and connects the Sedlitzer See with the Geierswalder See. The 1250-meter-long canal runs from the northern bank of the Geierswalder to the southeastern bank of the Sedlitzer See. The name of the canal is a reminder of the village of Sorno, which was devastated in 1971 by the Sedlitz open-cast mine. The flooding of the Sedlitz open-cast mine was completed in 2025, creating the Sedlitzer See.
