12:00 Lake Bergheide
The Bergheider See impresses with the impressive backdrop of the F60 visitor mine. The former overburden conveyor bridge is without a doubt the most spectacular relict of opencast lignite mining in Lusatia. It is the largest moving machine in the world. From a height of 74 meters you can see the Bergheider See and the neighboring NABU nature reserve "Naturparadies Grünhaus".
An innovative AUTARTEC house is floating in the harbor basin of Lake Bergheide..
The autartec house is a research and demonstration object of the Fraunhofer Institute for self-sufficient life on the water.
As part of the AUTARTEC consortium, a research group from BTU and the Institute of Floating Architecture (IfSB) planned a self-sufficient floating house. It is situated on Lake Bergheide, one of 23 artificially created bodies of water in the Lusatian Lake District.
14:00 Lake Grossraeschen
The lake of Grossraeschen is one of ten lakes in the heart of the Lusatian Lake District that will be connected by canals in the future. With the IBA terraces and the Seehotel, tourism development began years ago. The lake has been flooded since 2007 and is expected to reach its final level in 2024/2025. The water has filled the basin in the newly built port, the pier on the IBA terraces, which have been awarded the Brandenburg architecture prize, are in the water. The city harbor in Großräschen was built while it was still dry. After the end of the flooding, guests can expect a harbor with approx. 130 boat berths, a harbor promenade and all the important services for water sports enthusiasts.
The Ilse Canal to the neighboring Sedlitzer See was completed in 2014. This can only be used on the waterway when the Sedlitzer See has also reached its final water level. The pedestrian and cycle path through the ship tunnel is free. The Großräschener See is created by the flooding of the former Meuro opencast mine.
