    Schöne Strecke mit unterschiedlichen Wegen, auch neben dem breiten Weg, der auch von den Rädern genutzt wird, kleine Trampelpfade am Wasser. Viel zu entdecken, nicht so überlaufen wie andere Leipziger Seen und am Ende eine gute Abkühlungsmöglichkeit.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung rund um den See. Man kann sich oft am Wasser setzen und die Sonne genießen. Leider gibt es hier noch wenige Rastmöglichkeiten und keine Bänke etc. Im Sommer kann man zwischendurch auch baden gehen.

    Eine herrliche Strecke! Sehr abwechslungsreich, über ruhige Dörfer, durchgängig asphaltiert, zum Teil mit guten Radwegen. Definitiv (vor allem für Rennrad) empfehlenswert.
