South tip of Lake Zwenkau

Highlight • Lake

Southernmost tip of the lake in the east of Zwenkau. Here and there there are nice little places for swimming, including nudism. Nice and relaxed, not as crowded as the Cossi.

While the children can play captain, the parents have time to read the two information boards in peace. Small mooring for boats.

Trianon Temple Ruin, Eythra

Highlight • Monument

The Trianon temple ruins are modeled on the Concordia temple in Rome, which is located on the western narrow side of the Roman Forum next to the temple of Vespasian. The ruins near Lake Zwenkau were built in 1790 within sight of Eythra Castle and inaugurated in 2002 by the Zwenkau local history association at the original location. The castle was destroyed and dredged together with the town of Eythra in the 1980s as part of the opencast mining activities in Zwenkau.

Arranged around the Trianon there are still fragments of stone sarcophagi, some boundary stones and a memorial stone. The former Saxon/Prussian border is also marked.

The Trianon also forms the current endpoint of the more than 250-year-old Lindenallee, a former four-row avenue that formed the central axis of the former palace park of Eythra Palace, which was laid out in the Romantic style.

From the Trianon, via the avenue, you can reach a small resting place on the Zwenkauer See circular route, a well-developed cycle path that always offers nice opportunities to get directly to the lake, to take a dip and to watch the birds and sailors navigating the waters to use.

The Zwenkauer See is an artificially created lake located about 12 km south of the Leipzig city center, in the heart of the Leipziger Neuseenland. It was created from an open-cast mining pit, which was opened for tourist use on May 9, 2015.
