The Berzdorfer See or "Lake Berzdorf" is situated near the southern border of the "Europastadt" (Town of Europe) Görlitz-Zgorzelec. The lake was created out of a former lignite mine - the process of flooding it has still started - it is expected to be finished in 2008. The planned surface of the lake is expected to be about 10 km². Its name steams from a small village called "Schönau-Berzdorf auf dem Eigen" in the southwest of the lake. One day it's going to be one of the largest lakes in Saxony.
One day it will be a touristic site with a harbour for some smaller boats, a beach for swimmers and some restaurants. Other things planned are a camp site and golf course. An 18 kilometer ong scenic route is planned to go around the lake.
