Timeline
15:51
Catch the first round of the miniature railway as it opens for the afternoon session. The tracks circle Lake Auensee, offering a gentle, scenic ride through the northwest greenery.
16:51
Stroll east to Wassersport Leipzig. It is a quick walk from the railway station. Use this time to stretch your legs and enjoy the lakeside atmosphere before heading toward the city center.
17:51
Walk six minutes from the lake area to the Schiller House district. Enter the Gosenschenke Ohne Bedenken beer garden. Order a Gose, a local specialty brewed with coriander and salt, and watch the afternoon light fade over the historic grounds.
Local tip
The railway operates from 14:00 to 18:00 on weekdays. Arriving early ensures you catch the first train without waiting. The Gose at Gosenschenke is an acquired taste due to its salty, herbal profile.
