Beach path at Lake Schladitzer

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

What I like here is the path right on the beach, there is a tar road on top of the ridge, mainly for cycling.
A gravel path that is easy …

View of Werbeliner Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

Werbeliner See is a bird sanctuary and there are nature reserve signs in many places. That makes perfect sense because the lake has many elongated islands that are left over …

March 8, 2025,2-Seen-Runde bei Delitzsch: Schladitzer - Werbeliner See

A first Komoot tour this year. The sun tempted us to take a longer route, but it wasn't photogenic yet. But soon it will be green outside and then it will look different again. Several places to stop for refreshments are already open at Schladitzer Lake, today with quite a queue... The tour would also be great by bike. You …

Since it looks like it'll be over 30°C again next weekend, I took advantage of the cool 27°C today to collect lakes for the Iron Lake Challenge.

Starting from the parking lot 🚙 on the east shore of Werbeliner See (you can forget about Google Maps for navigation; you'll have to look at the map yourself), this was the place …

August 6, 2022,RunTheLake - Werbeliner See 6/7

98% asphalt path without shelter and mining area with entry / bathing ban. The remains of the large-scale backer from days gone by are worth seeing. Also the Strand Theater on the lake shore.

February 22, 2025,Run the Lake 4/25 + 5/25 Umrundung Schladitzer See + Werbeliner See ab Rackwitz (und zurück) - Wandern in und um Leipzig

The connection between the two lakes inevitably leads over a short stretch of country road, which can be easily managed on the field next to the road. Otherwise, these are beautiful hiking trails.

May 15, 2023,3-Seen-Runde bei Delitzsch: Schladitzer - Werbeliner - Grabschuetzer

The lakes weren't new to me, but combining them all in one lap was the first time today. There is a lot of asphalt on the route, running shoes are perhaps even better than hiking shoes. The weather was great, at the end there was a decent shower, but that didn't matter, the air was fresh and saturated with the …

November 8, 2025,Drei Seen Runde

A quick Saturday morning ride around three lakes: Schladitz, Zwochau, and Werbelin. A fair amount of asphalt, but beautiful views of the lakes; Werbelin Lake, in particular, is always lovely.

February 5, 2023,Werbelinsee mit Strandcafe

Small nice round for Sunday. In the best winter weather, this time we went counterclockwise, from the parking lot in the direction of Wolteritz. It feels like 99% of the way is on asphalt, but due to the relatively short distance, it's okay. After 13.Km we finally reached the beach cafe Wolteritz, there was cake, punch, tea, beer, runt, bratwurst …

September 19, 2026,Iron Lake Challenge 10/10 Werbeliner See

Today I circled the last lake. A really beautiful area, almost deserted and greeted by various animal sounds in the bushes. Pure tranquility and on the entire route I only saw 10 cyclists and 4 walkers. It must be very beautiful in late spring too, because I saw many flower meadows. Scenery top, tranquility top and paths also top.
