Lake Dreiweibern

With two wide beaches for swimming, Lake Dreiweibern is a great place for all lovers of water and sun. On the northern shore, campers can park their motorhomes right on the lakefront and enjoy uninterrupted views of the water. On the beach in Lohsa, a glass pyramid building contains a café and restaurant and there is also a play area for children. The 8km loop trail around the lake is used by cyclists, in-line skaters and runners. 

Lake Dreiweibern was created until 2002 by flooding the former Dreiweibern lignite mine. This process was completed in 2002 and the lake was approved for public use in 2005.
