Beautiful, varied tour along the lake shore 🌊 The Bistumshöhe observation tower with a view of the Leipzig skyline, the surrounding area and Belantis is highly recommended as a short detour. Also the adjacent game reserve and the harbor 😎

When Dad and I ran around Lake Süßer See in Seeburg, we ran 14.1 km. After recovering from leukemia, that remains my best result. Today we were at Lake Cospuden, and we managed a full 13.5 km!

We saw lots of people sunbathing on the beach and in the grass, or out on pedal cars, which was an unusual sight …
