Cospudener See
The Cospudener See (sometimes translated as Lake Cospuden) is an artificially constructed lake situated south of Leipzig, Germany. It is on the site of a former open cast mine. The lake has become highly popular with the local population, with long stretches of sand beaches (some clothing-optional, following the East German tradition of public nude bathing) and with a sauna directly located at the lake. There is also a small sailing harbor.
