October 29, 2021,Mit dem Rad rund um die Goitzsche

Excursion to the Bitterfeld lignite mining district in unashamedly brilliant autumn weather. The region around the Goitzsche has turned into an attractive local recreation and holiday area almost 30 years after the last shovel stab and the structural change caused by the reunification. The Vineta circles on the Goitzsche, the water level tower opens up beautiful views and floating houses …

Very beautiful and easy bike tour around the Goitzschesee. Well-developed bike paths without steep inclines. Through pure nature and places to stop for refreshments in Bitterfeld and Pouch.

The weather was very sunny and already quite warm. There were lots of people out and about in and around the lake. The scenery is very beautiful there, and there's a lot to see. This time we also went to the Bitterfelder Bogen.

Beautiful view from up there.😊👍

If you don't meet in this world, you'll meet in Bitterfeld...
well, it's a hackneyed, age-old saying - but today we were in Bitterfeld to enjoy the beautiful, really warm weather again. We went to the Goitzschesee, then to the Bitterfelder Bogen.
In Pouch (picture 6), by the way, the popular GDR folding boats were made

A very nice round trip around the Goitzschesee was our intermediate stage today.
A former opencast mining landscape has managed to become a popular leisure and holiday destination after 20 years.
The bike trail was very, very good, only a fairly short stretch was gravel.
The view from the level tower is an experience. But first you have to get …
