Boating holidays in Leipzig's New Lake District
Who doesn't dream of it? Sparkling water, balmy breezes, chic yachts, relaxed people, fresh fish from the barbecue, a glass of good wine or a cocktail in the harbour bar... You can experience all of this at the Geiseltalsee in the Braunsbedra marina. Your holiday begins just a few minutes from the lively city centre of the cultural city of Leipzig. Experience the overtime on a cruise in the centre of Leipzig's New Lake District, on Germany's largest artificial lake, the Geiseltalsee.
The Geiseltalsee in Leipzig's New Lake District
At 18.4 km², the Geiseltalsee is the largest artificial lake in Germany. After the Geiseltal open-cast mine ceased operations in 1993 and extensive earthworks and remediation work had been completed, the lake began to be flooded in 2003. The lake has been completely flooded since 2011.
The yacht Overtime
This boat is pleasantly structured and spacious below deck with a fully equipped galley and a wet room including electric WC, washbasin and shower. If you are travelling with up to 2 adults and 2 children, the bunk in the aft offers an additional plus point. This means there is no need to convert the seats into a sleeping area in the evening. The Overtime is very well equipped, including free WiFi, hi-fi audio system with Aux In and USB connection, 32" UHD TV, an AppleTV with free media library (films, programmes, games, music archive, apps).
