Schladitzer See

In the location's words:

If you're looking for a great spot to chill out and get some action, then head to Lake Schladitz! The "Schladi" is located north-west of Leipzig and has transformed itself from an old brown coal open-cast mine into a fantastic leisure oasis.

Activities at Lake Schladitz

The lake is an absolute paradise for water sports enthusiasts. Whether you like kitesurfing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling or diving - you'll find it all here! At CAMP DAVID SPORT RESORT by ALL-on-SEA you will find top equipment and courses for every level. There's also a huge inflatable water park called WIBIT, which provides plenty of fun with obstacle courses and trampolines.

If you prefer to chill out on the beach, check out the various spots: Schladitz Bay is perfect for families with shallow water areas and beach volleyball courts. Or treat yourself to a run on the 8.5 km paved circular trail around the lake - perfect for bikers, skaters and joggers.

Special features

The combination of action and relaxation is particularly cool at Schladi. You can camp right by the lake or sleep under the stars in the stylish "Tenthouses". And if you're looking for fun in winter, there's also curling and saunas on the beach.

From Leipzig by bike

It only takes about 45 minutes by bike from the center of Leipzig to Lake Schladitz. The route is well signposted and leads through green landscapes - you'll get that vacation feeling on the way there.

Important tips

• Be sure to check the weather before you hit the water.
• Pack enough sunscreen - the sandy beach can be quite reflective.
• If you want to camp, book in advance. The cool tent houses in particular book up quickly.
• Planes from the nearby airport can be a bit noisy, but that's not a deal-breaker.

So grab your crew and head to the Schladi! You're guaranteed a perfect mix of action and chilling out.
