The Runstedter See is a lake near Großkayna (Saxony-Anhalt).

The lake can be reached from the surrounding towns of Frankleben (about 1 km from the lake), Beuna (2 km away) and Braunsbedra (about 2 km away).

Runstedter See

Highlight • Lake

If you come to the lake from Frankleben, there is a free car park directly on the circular path.

The lake is sometimes called Runstedter See, sometimes Runstädter See. I couldn't find out which designation is really correct.

December 6, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "World" - Runstedter See - Braunsbedra/Sachsen-Anhalt

Today my hike took me through the Geiseltal valley, where Lake Runstedt is also located. It lies in the immediate vicinity of Lake Geiseltal, in Saxony-Anhalt.

Lake Runstedt is a remnant of the Großkayna open-cast lignite mine. It takes its name from the village of Runstedt, which had to make way for the mine in 1929.
