Hiking

Wonderful natural lake with a number of benches and a great view of the lake. On the side of the road where the benches are, the lake is open to the public, the rest to the rear is private property and belongs to a fishing club.

Hiking

The lake is now very naturalized and more inviting for fishing than swimming. We used to swim here in both the Birkwitzer See and the Kiessee Pratzschwitz.

Between the towns of Graupa and Birkwitz, the natural lake is hidden behind high hedges. It is ideal for a break in the countryside with a few benches and a great view of the lake landscape.
