Lake Grossräschen
Lake Grossräschen is one of ten lakes at the heart of the Lusatian Lakeland that will eventually be linked by canals. Development of the lake’s tourism infrastructure has been going on for a few years now, resulting in the IBA Terraces and the Seehotel. Lake Grossräschen was created through flooding from 2007 to 2019. The IBA Terraces, a recipient of the Brandenburg prize for architecture, offer panoramic views of the lake, the marina and the pier. Grossräschen marina was built when the area was still above the water level. Future visitors can expect to find around 130 boat moorings, a harbour promenade and all key water sport services. Boat trips coming soon. The Ilse Canal between Lake Grossräschen and neighbouring Lake Sedlitz was completed in 2014. However, it will only become navigable as a waterway when Lake Sedlitz has also reached its target water level. Part of the canal is a tunnel that will allow ships to pass underneath several roads and railway tracks. A tunnel for pedestrians and cyclists runs parallel to it on land and is free to use.
Lake Grossräschen was created by flooding the former Meuro open-cast mine.
