Discover the region

Regis-Breitingen lies on the edge of the Leipzig Neuseenland and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape. The town is known for its historic buildings such as Breitungen Castle or the town church of St. Marien from the 13th century.

For culture lovers, there are numerous museums to visit: The "Alte Papierfabrik" museum shows the paper-making process of earlier times and the local history museum offers insights into the history of the region.

The annual events such as the town festival in summer or the Christmas market spectacle in winter with traditional crafts and delicious mulled wine are also a highlight.

Culinary Regis-Breitingen also has a lot to offer - be sure to try the regionally famous Sauerbraten or enjoy fresh bread from the local bakery.

The surroundings of Regis-Breitingen invite you to go hiking, cycling or boating on the nearby lakes. In summer you can sunbathe or go swimming on the beaches. In winter, a sleigh ride through snow-covered forests beckons.

Even in rainy weather, there are opportunities to explore the region - for example, visit the indoor playground "Schatzkiste" or relax in the sauna of the local swimming pool.

It is especially beautiful in spring and summer, when everything is in bloom and green. But Regis-Breitingen also has its charm in autumn with the colourful leaves and mild climate.

Regis-Breitingen is definitely worth a trip for anyone who appreciates nature, culture and culinary delights in equal measure. We hope this guide will help you plan your stay in the best possible way!

    war doch gar nicht schlecht! in und um Borna noch etwas Optimierungsbedarf. Wenn man am WE die Route fährt kann man überall entspannt fahren. Am Cospudener See sind bei schönem Wetter wie immer die Rücksichtslosen unterwegs, also Obacht! TIPP: lecker Eis im Eiscafé di Lago in Großstolpen https://youtu.be/_RzbDCaNldI?si=QkftCetXPJCZUSJ6

    Grundsätzlich eine schöne Gegend und auch gute Runde. Wie schon zuvor bemerkt, ist der Routenverlauf allerdings teilweise etwas unübersichtlich. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass im Netz verschiedene Varianten kursieren. So sind wir mit einer GPX, entgegen der hier präsentierten Version, um das Speicherbecken Borna drum rum gefahren und so auf etwas über 100km gekommen. Wenn diese Fragezeichen noch beseitigt werden, lohnt sich der Abstecher in die Region aber allemal.

    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.
