The youngest of the nearby lakes and perhaps a bit quieter than the other two. It has rather small beaches but a long promenade.

Address: Markkleeberg-Ost
Getting there: Tram 11 to Markkleeberg-Ost (buy a ticket for fare zones 110 and 151; from the terminal stop proceed on Bornaische Straße in the same direction until you reach the lake
