Wooden sculptures at Lake Bergwitz

Highlight • Monument

Riding a bike, jumping into the lake, but no bathing suits with me. This happens to many people, but it's not a problem on this stretch of beach. Wood art cheers the mind.

May 12, 2024,Muttertagstour mit Frau, Tochter und Fellknäuel um den Bergwitzsee

Very nice tour along one of the most beautiful renaturalized open-cast mining pits I have ever seen. Great healthy forest, lots of places to swim and not too crowded despite the great weather. The people we met enjoyed the day to the fullest - and so did we!!! And Mum was happy☺️

Today was our first hike in the Düben Heath. A circular route around Lake Bergwitz. We started at P3, passed the mini golf course, and immediately saw the beautiful sandy beach. The wooden sculptures were also interesting. We continued to Hoffmannshöhe, with a great hut and a view of the lake. Behind the campsite, there was more beach and a …

Round trip for three around the Bergwitzsee with a trip to the peninsula. In addition to the dog and textile beach, the areas for the nudist beach seem to be very generous.
After lignite mining stopped in the 1950s, it was recultivated from the early 1960s. The Bergwitzsee was already a popular and well-visited destination in GDR times.
Couldn't keep …

On the way home from the girls' weekend, we (@Hella Berrymaus and @Susan) took another stroll around Lake Bergwitz.

@HellaBerrymaus's eagle eyes also spotted the long-sought golden nettle for our student's herbarium.

If you're ever in the Düben Heath, you have to pack your hiking boots 🥾. Today, to round off our cultural visit to Wittenberg, we went for a walk around Lake Bergwitz. A beautiful, idyllic swimming lake that also appeals to anglers and water sports enthusiasts. Since we love adventure, we deliberately strayed from the trail. The small path that …

A week's vacation in the Düben Heath is coming up. On the way there, we had an appointment at the orthopedic workshop in Dresden...after a pleasant welcome and set-up at the resort at Bergwitzsee...we walked around it. Unfortunately, the path doesn't run directly along the lake in some places, but we did get to enjoy a beautiful sunset at the …
