To the South of Leipzig
Shows you, not only the former brown coal area, but also a delightful landscape, cultivated by man, and the memorial area “The Battle of Leipzig 1813” (also known as the Battle of the Nations). You experience the greatest change of a landscape in Europe: The reorganisation of a former opencast mining area into a modern recreational area, the Leipzig “Neuseenland” (Leipzig “New Lakeland”). At the end is a visit to Lake Cospuden with its beaches, restaurants and surfing and sailing facilities.
On request also with a visit to the Romanesque Emmaus Church, a fortified church from 13th century, which was (because of the opencast mining activities in that area) “moved” in 2007 by a 12 km long spectacular transport on a low - loading vehicle from the abandoned and deserted village of Heuersdorf to the town of Borna.
