Markkleeberger Lake - all beaches

The lake appears peaceful and pleasant, at least upon first sight. However, the entire coastline is neglected and creates a melancholy impression. There are only a few benches, and the area is dusty with very few or no trees to provide shade from the sun. The poorly maintained reed sections do not provide a suitable habitat for birds. Whether you walk or run in either direction, from west to east, there are no places with shade. There is an excessively large boat that offers a round trip on the small lake, but it essentially takes you to nowhere and back, offering the same uninteresting view for a fee. As a local guide for many years, I must admit that the only positive aspect of this place is that if you visit during the middle of the week, there are no crowds, allowing for a peaceful swimming experience. I would rate this place three stars. While it may be suitable for children, the only enjoyable dining experience can be found at the restaurant. There are no showers, no ice cream, and no stand-up paddleboards or boats available. Disappointing. Adjacent to the harbor is a mundane kindergarten with no distinctive features or lively atmosphere. The only notable elements are a climbing net and a long, unattractive stone structure resembling a snake.
