The 33 best parks and gardens in Leipzig

Wonderful park. Great for long or short distance workouts!

A beautiful park very close to the city center. Lakes, bridges and space to meet with friends, not in winter :)

It is a nice, big and clean park. Absolute peace.

A Nice place to relax, hang out with friends and have fun.

Small Spielplatz but we found the lake frozen! We spent a good time there.

No pollution, peaceful and very charming. The perfect place to relax and to let go for a while.

Nice place to walk around

This park is so beautiful that every corner csn offer you different type of things. So calm and peaceful. Loved it.i went their when it was fall.. So colorful. I recommend everyone to go there if someone vidit leipzig.

Very, very large park. Fairly the largest park I’ve ever set foot on. And from its hugeness, there are a lot of activities actually. From street music and food trucks, and a lot more! But on its own, just Mother Nature herself, whatever season it is Clara-Zetkin-Park is tremendously beautiful.

Great park, lots of spots to sit. There is a restaurant with toilets

Beautiful park especially during the autum, the reflections are unbelievable!!

This park is enormous and has a lot of path. There are 2 restaurants / Biergarten within vicinity. Many people do sports (jogging, cycling), picnic, playing with ball ⚽️, playing music, etc. especially at night. When i visited on mid June on the other part of the park and it was full of colorful flowers 🌺

That park it is amazing. It Gives the feeling that you are on a different planet, with the 3 river united together, the XIX century bridge, little lakes, cute cozy restaurants, free music bands flashing their undiscovered talent... everything it is so marvelous, magical.

Large, flat as normal for Leipzig, some nice natural spots but mostly city park vibe, just larger. Good places for ice cream, etc. Generally great for a relaxed time with friends. River runs through it, allowing watching the boats. Has big events like the eco festival that I attended there. Could use more benches.

Huge lawn. Great venue for open air events. We went to "Klassik Airleben" in June. While the acoustics is not as good as in the real opera house, people had fun.

This park is filled with flat grass and trees and it is very nice to walk 🚶‍♀️. I really like to walk and run to it is also recommended to go with kids since the kids can play ball and enjoy the nature times

Very nice public park. The park is very big with a lot of open space where you can do picnic. Next to the park is also Leipzig Zoo so you can see Giraffe, Zebra etc if you are lucky. The park also has good children play area with a lot of different activities. Overall an excellent park to spend some quality time..

A beautiful open area and a dog park on the back side. Klassik Airleben is the best event here in the summer. Great spot on the other side of the Zoo.

Best for sunny day. Small parties.

This park is a paradise! Possible for jogging, chilling, walking, biking or barbequeing!

This is a large, flat, open park--suitable for walking, but not particularly feature-rich. The Auwald is more interesting and varied. Walk along the trails on the eastern and northern faces for occasional views into the Leipzig Zoo.

The Palmengarten in Leipzig is a true gem among the city's many parks and green spaces. One of the standout features of this lovely park is its pathway that runs alongside the nearby river. Walking along this path is a truly delightful experience, with stunning views of the water and the surrounding trees and vegetation. The pathway is well-maintained and provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. In addition to the pathway, the Palmengarten is home to many valuable and unique trees, many of which were sourced from the botanical garden's tree nursery. The park is also a great place for families, with several play areas for children to enjoy. One particularly magical experience is visiting the Palmengarten during a full moon. The path beside the river is illuminated by the moonlight, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Even in the winter, the Palmengarten is a wonderful place to visit. The pathway is transformed into a snowy wonderland, and visitors can enjoy building snowmen and taking in the serene beauty of the park. One interesting feature of the nearby river is the Palmengarten weir, also known as the Elster weir. This historic structure was built in the early 20th century to regulate water levels in the river, and it remains an important part of Leipzig's water management system today. Visitors to the Palmengarten can observe the weir and learn about its history and significance in the region. There’s one small pond and fountain (unfortunately not operational right now) present at the middle of the park. Though the park is very clean sometimes because of irresponsible park visitors you will see overflowing of bins or plastic bottles in the pond.

Gorgeous place. This is probably my favorite park in all of Leipzig. No mather the season it always looks pretty.

Always a great place to come for a picnic, people watching or a pick up game.

Great place for refreshing both body and mind. Tranquil environment. Lovely place full of nature.

Beautiful place. I liked it a lot. Families go there too and I like these family places!

Beautiful bridges and ponds. Very scenic.

Great park, A+++ would go again, top park.

Leipzig Zoo is hands down the best zoo I’ve ever been to – just go! The area is massive and beautifully designed, with tons of space to explore. The animals are surprisingly close, and there’s an amazing variety – I saw species I’d never even heard of before. There are plenty of spots to grab food or a drink along the way, which makes the whole visit super chill. The highlight for me was the tropical hall *Gondwanaland* – a huge indoor rainforest with its own climate. It’s seriously impressive and makes the whole experience feel really unique.

This Is the most amazing zoo I've ever been to. It's so big with the kids. We could only see a portion of it, but the jungle experience especially with the boat ride was so cool. All of the exhibits are wonderful. I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the zoo. Easily one of the best zoos in the world.

Beautiful zoo with a rich variety of animals and habitats! Especially Gondwanaland was amazing giving you the feeling of actually being in the jungle!( don’t forget to get on the little boat trip, super cheap and worth the experience). Love, Greece!!!🇬🇷❤️

Leipzig Zoo is one of the best zoos I‘ve ever visited. Large enclosures. Many events throughout the day. Amazing infrastructure (you can find maps, sign posts, and directions for a tour that leads you through the entire zoo everywhere). They also don’t solely focus on the animals as mere entertainment but seek to inform kids in playful ways about preservation/biology/even physics in the aquarium. Leipzig Zoo also provides a variety of restaurants and snack bars that are evenly distributed across the entire Zoo. I wholly recommend visiting, whether alone or with friends and family. It’s an amazing and informative experience!

This zoo park was fantastic. I would recommend this to everyone. There is so much to see and you should have water with you because food and water prices there is too expensive. WC is free which is very good. And I suggest you guys to go early there, zoo opens at 9 am and closes at 7pm. As I mentioned earlier there is lot to see so you probably will need some rest. And one good thing about this zoo park is that you see animals without any borders and it is kind of crazy but it is safe. So enjoy with your trip everyone.

Zoo Leipzig is a great place to visit with kids. The grounds are very clean with almost no smell, and there are nice play and climbing facilities for children. A fun and family-friendly zoo experience!

I went to Leipzig zoo with my family (kids aged 12, 15 and 16) with the very reasonably priced family ticket. The breadth of animals is brilliant and they were all housed in appropriate and spacious enclosures. We all loved the tropical area, a particular highlight was the giant otter feeding. It was a very busy day in the Summer holidays and some areas did feel quite busy but we still had a fantastic day, definitely one of the best zoos I have ever been to. There was only one issue and that was the number of people smoking all over the zoo, particularly in busy areas where there are lots of children it would be much better to have designated smoking areas and ban smoking in other places

Pros Pleasant pathways alongside the kanal, sometimes you'll find shady playgrounds and benches. Rawing folks swarm too and fro summertime {boat sup rent is possible} There's a small group - riverboat sightseeing tour alongside the kanal. Cons There's no consistent access to the kanal from every public place! Not every bridge had been connected. Locals know some pathes /shortcuts: they are driving through backyards but this possibilities depend on opening hours. {for Leipzigers: It's worth to overthink the London canal example}

Beautiful

(Translated by Google) Nice place to walk or sit down and have a drink with friends. (Original) Schöner Ort zum Spazieren oder Hinsetzen und was mit Freunden trinken.

(Translated by Google) A very pleasant place for a stroll. You can kayak or enjoy a pleasant time with takeaway food and various drinks. There's a bike path along the canal. Tram number 15 is easily accessible from the city center. (Original) Bardzo przyjemne miejsce spacerowe. Można popływać kajakiem albo spędzić miło czas z jedzeniem na wynos oraz różnymi napojami. Ścieżka rowerowa wzdłuż kanału. Z centrum bez problemu można podjechać tramwajem 15.

(Translated by Google) Super fine channel to switch off and unwind. Great for walking. (Original) Super feiner Kanal zum Abschalten und Seele baumeln lassen. Zum spazieren super geeignet.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful district in Leipzig 😄 (Original) Schöner Stadtteil in Leipzig 😄

(Translated by Google) A very quiet and idyllic place on the Karl Heine Canal and a wonderful oasis in the “Plagwitz” district of Leipzig 💚 (Original) Ein sehr ruhiger und idyllischer Ort der Karl -Heine-Kanal und eine wundervolle Oase im Stadtteil "Plagwitz" /Leipzig 💚

Its long and thin. Great for walk and talk. There is a cloth sharing spot in the middle And a very competitive table tennis players always there in any chance of playable weather

Nice park with lots of places to sit. Popular among students.

Really beautiful and peaceful

Plants around the park is sensing the upcoming winter.

Good for inline skate workout.

I love this park. It's a long park, not wide. It has beach volleyball (3 fields), table tennis (3 tables), basketball and football, children's sand play zone. You can grill. There are cool cafes and ice cream shops just beside.

Long extended parc for picnicking and grill. Can get very crowded during sunshine and high temperatures. Grass is already partly 'worn off' due to the crowds. Otherwise good place for a lunch.

A best place in Germany to spend time with family. And one of the best for a day trip from Leipzig. It definitely do require to spend a full day to see the park completely. One less attractive thing is the less number of activities for the small children under 7 years and specially under 3 years. Park is very large and have very nice scenic views. One of my favorite ride was red rollercoaster. Those who love slushy drink will get a lot here and you need a full day to sit on all rides. Enjoy your visit

We went there today and I should say I’m quite disappointed because I was having high expectations. I knew they opened yesterday but there was too many technical issues which they should check before opening we went to pyramid one first it wasn’t working and small roller coaster weren’t working after we spend some time other side of the park they worked but it shouldn’t even happen. When we finished we went to souvenir shop my bf wanted to buy souvenirs we waited in the queue for payment then they said they system got broken. We couldn’t buy the souvenirs as well. Overall I’m disappointed, I don’t think I would visit there again.

The park not very good. Old, cracked. Atrractions old and not designed to ride well because you got a lot of shaking. Hurricane would be so good, but ot was shaking so much i was hitting my head over and over again all over the rollercoaster.. Its not so cheap for this kind of park also. But if you wasnt anywhere but here your first park, it ok

The biggest issue in our opinion is the price. 90€ for two tickets, 5€ parking, 30€ two meals of frozen food, a mini waffle 3,50€, two slushies 15€. If you'd cut everything in half we still wouldn't rate it super high, but then it becomes much easier to stomach. There simply isn't enough "love" in the park. The attractions aren't very modern, many going back as far as decades ago. That in itself would be fine, if there would be new attractions to make up for it. I think the park is decent for families with children though, since they do have mostly attractions for that demographic. Adults are probably going to have a hard time (only 3 roller coasters) All in all this makes it a very tough sell, because you have many alternatives that are either priced much more competitively, or ones with a better reputation, being bigger and better. The big highlight was the pyramid. That was definitely worthy and beautiful to look at. Unfortunately the fact that you had to pay to get dried after the water slide of the pyramid left a bitter aftertaste. After all the expenses paying an additional 3€ just to get dried because the water slide completely left you wet and cold is just pure greed. Another positive experience was the castle rollercoaster, that one is beautiful, fun, although a little short. However that wasn't the most egregious thing that happened during our visit. We paid a decent bit more because of the Halloween season, despite that some of the Halloween attractions required additional pay? We've visited many amusement parks and we are aware of the cost of food, drinks, mini games where you can win plushies, there is plenty of that here in Belantis as well, but the fact that you have to pay additional money for seasonal attractions is extremely scummy behavior. Our last point, before coming to an end is about the logistics. We got lost multiple times with the entry to the attraction not being close to the attraction or for whatever illogical reason on a completely different side, quite far away from it.

Honestly, I was told to lower my expectations when coming here. As a result, I came to the park with very little expectations, but all my fears were for nothing. The park is very open, and there is nice theming for most of the attractions. I especially like the pyramid water ride, it’s quite unique. Staff is very friendly and even spoke English! (Was not expecting that to be honest). Pricing is on point too. Food-wise they can still improve. We took the pasta, and the adult portions seemed like they were meant for children. (They weren’t, we checked). Still, we had a great time here. I hope they try to water their grass a bit more, it would make a big difference and make everything seem a bit more green. Fun park though.

Pleasantly surprised by this amusement park! It has a great variety of roller coasters for the whole family and not crowded at all - despite a public holiday and a beautiful weather. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the Halloween theme. The only area for improvement could be the food offering. It was unfortunately too poor quality for such a price and too little variety. But overall highly recommend it as a one-off family experience.

I like this amusement park. My kids love this. If you visit here more than twice, I recommend you to purchase annual ticket. Annual tickets also provide discounted price for food in the restaurant.

I know it's crematorium, cemetery but worth a visit. Looks like a castle and some of the graves are incredible. Beautiful forest, park and pond. Just respect the peace of the place.

Beutiful, magical, Disney-like palace. It’s a very bizzare composure - palace is like from fairy tale, but at the end of it there is a crematory. And all of that in beutiful surroundings of a park that in fact is cementary (but the one for wealthy people I believe). But all in all it’s a must to visit while in Leipzig.

An absolutely stunning piece of land. Great for a walk, lots of hydrangeas and other flowering plants, a pond, willow trees, and a beautiful calm atmosphere. The pathways are very wide and flat, so quite accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. It's absolutely worth a visit.

Nice place to have a stroll. It's right next to the völkerschlachtdenkmal as well so lots to see around there. It's a beautiful cemetery and quiet, it also has toilet facilities near the entrance.

Most beautiful cemetery I ever saw.

Large area to walk around, nice and quite. Different birds to observe and occasionally hares.

Beautiful regular park. It is quite place with a lot of historical monuments.

A nice and quiet Park in Makleeberg Area bei Leipzig.. You can have a quiet scenes here not far from the Busy City of Leipzig. Many people go here for Jogging, biking, and even Meeting friends.

Lovely

Romantic love place,❤️

It' s sooooo NICE!

Exciting. Amazing light show.. Entrance with fee for Christmas days.

Christmas Garden ( 20 e / person expensive for 5 minutes to walk and see all the lights)

Relaxing

Beautiful place, very peaceful and offers a lot to see. You can also pay a small fee and visit the greenhouses, where you can see plants from different ecosystems (tropical, Mediterranean, mangroves) and of course don't forget the butterfly house.

Stunning place and so well taken care of. Enjoyed the butterflies as well as the greenery. My partner and I just got engaged there, and it will always be a special memory 💜

For only €3 student entry this is an experience that you must go to whilst in Leipzig. All of the greenhouses were beautifully maintained and we got to see a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis which was a very special moment.

The hothouse where the butterflies are is quite small, and quite warm (especially since we visited on a summer day) but you can see the butterflies up close. I kind of expected more variety, but anyway, you do get to see some beautiful creatures.

A pleasant afternoon activity 😊 would highly recommend 👌

Beautiful butterflies and exotic tropical plants in the glass house as well as some interesting cacti and succulents. Also had some cool plants for sale if only I'd not been flying so couldn't bring any home. Maybe a little expensive at €5 since quite small area but I guess you don't get a lot for €5 these days.

Small botanical garden with number of different plants. No ticket for outdoor areas, indoor places need ticket (adult 5 euros, children 3 euros)

Nice place for a walk. Most of the animals are far in the distance. We didn't see much. The farm animals were easier to see. However there was supposed to be riding, but there wasn't. Kids were sad about it, but had fun on the playground.

amazing place. mostly you ll see deers and pigs and owl maybe

Really nice place to walk and relax without streẞenlarm! The animal enclosures are well kept and huge. The WC is super clean and accessible. With a changing table available as well.

Made for an enjoyable, brisk winter walking spot. Would have been nice to see a few more animals but understandably many were sheltering from the cold! Not sure about keeping the owls in such small cages, seemed inhumane

Wildpark Leipzig is a fantastic destination for nature lovers and families, offering a variety of attractions and activities to enjoy. One of the standout features of this park is that it is free to enter, making it accessible to all visitors. The park itself is quite large, with multiple hiking routes that allow visitors to explore the beautiful surroundings at their own pace. Opposite the entrance there’s a small car park. There were sign present for bike to not to enter inside park however I have seen many people ignoring it and going inside with their bike The park is accessible by public transport. However, There’s only one bus route right at the entrance of the park and frequency is less compare to tram. After entering the park on left side you will get a spacious area dedicated to children's play, providing a great space for kids to have fun and burn off some energy. While entry to the park is free, it's worth noting that there are additional charges for certain activities such as camel rides and pony rides. However, these experiences can add an extra element of excitement for those interested. One of the unique aspects of Wildpark Leipzig is the opportunity to observe and interact with various animals. During feeding time, which typically takes place between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm, some animals like minks and otters can only be seen in action. This creates a special experience for visitors and adds to the park's charm. To further engage with the animals, you can purchase feeding boxes from vending machines in the park. These boxes allow you to feed various species of rams and goats, and they cost exactly 50 cents. Just make sure to bring exact change to use the vending machine. A visit to Wildpark Leipzig wouldn't be complete without exploring the deer and bison enclosures. These majestic animals are a must-see. The park also features several owl enclosures, although some visitors may find the cages to be relatively small compared to the size of the birds. However, seeing these magnificent creatures up close can still be quite fascinating. In addition to the animal exhibits, Wildpark Leipzig boasts a tranquil pond where you can spot a few small tortoises. These gentle creatures add a touch of serenity to the park's atmosphere. If you find yourself needing a break or a bite to eat, there are several restaurants conveniently located in the park, opposite the children's play area. This allows you to relax and recharge before continuing your exploration. Overall, Wildpark Leipzig offers a wonderful experience for visitors of all ages. From its free admission to the opportunity to interact with animals and enjoy outdoor activities, it's a great place to spend a day immersed in nature. Always my wildpark visit ends by looking at the sunset at near by Cospunder see which you can get to pretty easily using public transport or by driving your own car.

A very atmospheric place to be with a number of options to spend your time on and a number of animals to see. A good and mostly free alternative to the city Zoo.

Great zoological park in the south of Leipzig which will cost you nothing at all👍🏾😱 Here you can watch deers, goats, elks, foxes and other small native European animals. Don’t expect lions and those other special like animals. You can find them in the real zoo in Leipzig. 🦉🐗🐐🦌 You can also buy animal food from machines there for just one euro. If you want to chill and have a meal, then checkout the small “Russian” bistro in the park. This one was built during the socialist era when East Germany was a country on it’s own. There is also another small place, where you can have the typical German Bratwurst and other stuff, and a big restaurant, where you might have to pay more.

Large forest that's a bit wild and that can be accessed with a car and many public transportation means, the only downside is the sewage treatment plant at the north end.

it is one of good place. hear you will find boating and fishing also plus you can do photoshoot.

Great place for morning and evening walk.

The Auwald has a bit more feature than the town park Rosenthal. Nice place to run & walk. But it has the same unkempt wounds like other parks have in Leipzig. No bins, sporadic benches, no tap water, lot of dust in summer. The whole concept must be rethought...

This place is 5 minutes far from my home in Leipzig. I simply love it! Its ideal for running, walking, sunbathing, lunching, barbecuing, workingout, sleeping, walking your dog and anything else. There is so much space there. It's not crowded like some other parks in Leipzig. Ideal for locals and tourists!

Nature preserve with plenty of hiking/biking trails. Many of the trails run a bit close to the street, so are loud. Maps work mostly correctly for self-navigating. Fine place for a walk.

very calm and peaceful ✌️

Nice events but very expensive to buy food and drinks. Bratwurst 5-7 euro is much to high

Nice place with decent food. Not super easy to reach with public transportation. Is located in a bigger park in leipzig. In my opinion it's not a must see.. They have a nice bar which is quite pricey though.

The restaurant serves good menu and very big garden with good mega screen and overlooking the river

Visited the park and the restaurant, not the track. Location is really nice. That's all I can say.

Loved it. Amazing. But I went there just to park there to see the river nearby. Overall I bet the horse racing is cool too. But didn't see any racing as it was 8pm and just parked there for the river.

It's a very nice place in Clara-Zetkin Park. It has a beautiful and big beargarten. And it has open air cinema in the summers. The screen is a little bit pale but once you're in the movie it doesn't matter. They have a strange system. When you go there you have to take your own chair (some kind of sun chair) from a pile of chairs and choose your place to sit and if you're late you may have no chair left. I dont know what happens in that case, there is also a balcony probably you go and sit on the balcony, I haven't checked it. So I advise you to go early and have a seat. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, chips and so on. So you can just sit and enjoy the place till movie starts(that's what people were doing so the place is like an open bar till movie). Anyway, if you like open air cinema you should definitely try it!

great atmosphere and large installations, a lack of viewing with appropriate height on the ground levels made for a packed mob at the time of the race!! would have liked to have actually seen the horses...

A naturally welcoming park. Fresh air around with lovely field. Grill available for grilling and hosting a large party. People generally friendly around.

I go there to make videos for my youtube about freelancing in Urdu / Hindi. It is always a good experience. It is also good for dog owners. https://youtu.be/HFe51-_BRHA

One of my favorite place in Leipzig, you can do jogging, running, exercise, play basketball, badminton, table tennis, play groud for kids.

Nice and very large park filled with green gras and many singular trees. Soccer and basket ball field give some sport opportunities. At night the ways are fully dark - so avoid crossing it if you are easily scared.

fave outdoor place to do workout and engage the society 💪😎

Nice small park, quite central. Great place to chill in summer. Has a playground for kids, table tennis tables and a basketball court. There is a Russian Orthodox church very close and also a botanical garden. Worth a visit!

Extremely nice and spacious with many offers.

Nice park with good structure for kids including a cultural center with great concerts (Geyser Haus).

Beautiful place. It's always good to be here.

i visited during new years while it was dark but have gone during the day too, its quite beautiful

Beautiful park with a small lake.

Nurimmer

The toilet was closed. They didn’t mow the grass for some time.

Clean, had space for kinds to run around, to sit, to grill.

The lake is kind of let to the forces of nature and like filled with all branches and sediments over time, but the art installation of the female ghost near the island was a nice touch and I gave an extra star for that.

Nice park for jogging and cycling

Optimal!!

Its ok

Super

Great for dogs!

Top

Perfect park for partying with friends and enjoying music without disturbance due to the large size of the place. The pond there is lovely and perfect for jogging

Its a lovely park with lots of scenery. It has lots of open areas which is great for picnic and sports. Its the perfect to learn what it means to really fall in love ... with nature ;).

I was here in the winter and the whole place is covered in snow ❄️ The lake is frozen and some people even played ice hockey on it There is a small hill, which one can see a large part of Leipzig

If you love to take a break and breath, this is the place. Tram station Lößnig is just at the entrance of the park.

This is one of the great place to explore in Leipzig. Full of green and the birds are pretty nice. The waters are clean.

Everything is clean. Well looked after park. Perfect for a small picnic or just to go for a walk.

It a nice park for a stroll. It is just sad that lake is so unmaintained

Nice Spot. But not my Favourite. Beach too small. No Dogs allowed. Boat Cruise recommended, lovely Tour!

Really nice lake. You can ride a boat across or walk around it. There are also little coves to bathe privately in.

This place is soothing,I have experienced one of the best sunsets in my life here.

Beautiful place

A great place for biking, swimming and chilling out. Nice bike ways and not too crowded

Nice place to swim and chill.

Nice place for boating, sports and enjoying natural environment, spending some quality of time with friends.

Very nice place

Cool

I love this Sea

Toll

(Translated by Google) Whether by bike, on foot, or simply relaxing by the lake, it's wonderfully quiet and the water quality is excellent. (Original) Egal ob mit dem Fahrrad, zu Fuss oder einfach nur zum entspannen am See. Es ist herrlich ruhig, die Wasserqualität ist sehr gut.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful area and landscape on and around the lake, a shame about the former village of Eythra which was evacuated because of the lake. Ideal for relaxing holidays and walks, boat trips are also possible, especially after winter you can see a lot of bushes, which somewhat reduces the view of the harbor. (Original) Wunderbare Gegend und Landschaft am und um den See, schade um das ehemalige dorf Eythra welches geräumt wurde wegen dem See. Ideal für Erholungsurlaub und Spaziergänge aber auch Bootsfahrten sind möglich, gerade nach dem Winter sind viele büsche zu sehen was den Anblick am Hafen etwas mindert.

(Translated by Google) The Zwenkauer See is an artificially created still body of water located around 12 km south of Leipzig city center in the Leipzig Neuseenland. It was created from a remaining opencast mine (Zwenkau lignite mine) and was opened for tourist use on May 9, 2015. With an area of ​​9.7 km² and a circumference of 22 km, the Zwenkauer See is the largest lake in the Leipzig Neuseenland. (Original) Der Zwenkauer See ist ein rund 12 km südlich vom Leipziger Stadtzentrum gelegenes künstlich entstandenes Stillgewässer im Leipziger Neuseenland. Er entstand aus einem Tagebaurestloch (Braunkohletagebau Zwenkau) und wurde am 9. Mai 2015 zur touristischen Nutzung freigegeben. Mit einer Fläche von 9,7 km² und einem Umfang von 22 km ist der Zwenkauer See der größte See im Leipziger Neuseenland.

The park is great, it has all the basics for calisthenics and a little bit more. Unfortunately, sometimes there are many kids here. Parents, this is NOT a playground for your kids. This is an open-air gym. Kids are distracting and it is not good to have them playing around you while you are trying to focus.

Kuhl

Really Nice Calesthenics Park

Holy niceness

(Translated by Google) The Calisthenic Park itself is great, as is the location with football, basketball and other opportunities to exercise and chill out. The only point of criticism: All of the support rods are super smooth and extremely slippery when wet. Why couldn't they use roughened poles like other parks do? (Original) Der Calisthenic Park an sich ist mega sowie die Lage mit Fußball, Basketball und weiteren Möglichkeiten zum sporteln & chillen. Einziger Kritikpunkt: Säntliche Halte-Stangen sind super glatt und bei Feuchtigkeit extrem rutschig. Warum konnte man keine angerauhten Stangen verwenden, so wie es bei anderen Parks der Fall ist?

(Translated by Google) Nice playground. Is also very popular. Clean. There could still be a few more trash cans. (Original) Schöner Spielplatz. Wird auch sehr gern genutzt. Sauber. Könnten trotzdem ein paar mehr Mülleimer geben.

(Translated by Google) The sand is a bit annoying, it would be better with a rubber floor but otherwise the place is great (Original) Der Sand ist bisschen nervig wäre besser mit Gummi Boden aber sonst ist der Platz top

Beautiful place

Toll!!!

(Translated by Google) A picturesque bridge and weir with a long history. A pleasant place for a walk, just like the entire park area. (Original) Malowniczy mostek i jaz o długiej historii. Przyjemne miejsce na spacer, podobnie jak cala parkowa okolica.

(Translated by Google) Interesting facility! The Palmengarten weir (also: Upper Elster weir) is located at the southern (in terms of flow direction) end of the Elster basin (Zentrum-West district). It reduces the water level from 106.9 meters above sea level (south) to 104.4 meters above sea level (north). The street Am Elsterwehr leads over the 50 meter long and 5 meter wide weir bridge. The Palmengarten weir was built from 1913 to 1917 as a combined roller and rifle weir. The construction management was carried out by the Leipzig architect Georg Wünschmann (1868–1937), who also designed the external design. The Palmengarten weir got its name from the Palmengarten located at the western bridge camp, an amusement park created between 1893 and 1899, the remains of which belonged to the Clara Zetkin Park from 1955 to 2011. The weir serves to control the inflow of water from the White Elster coming from the west and the combined Elster and Pleiße floodbed coming from the south into the Elster basin to the north. It is also possible to lower the southern water levels so far that the Alte Elster, which runs south of the weir to the east, and the Elstermühlgraben, which later branches off, fall dry. The entire weir is faced with granite stones. The three attached buildings have hipped roofs covered with red tiles. The weir is constructed strictly symmetrically: in the middle is the house with the control systems and wind turbines of the two rollers on the left and right, each lying in 17 meter wide arches. This is also followed by narrower rifle openings on both sides, above which the associated smaller shelter houses stand. The Palmengarten weir is a technical monument. Nevertheless, it is still fully functional and fulfills important flood protection tasks for the city of Leipzig. On July 10, 1954, after heavy rainfall, a defect in the Palmengarten weir led to the flooding of large parts of the outer western suburb and the Waldstrasse district. (Original) Interessante Anlage! Das Palmengartenwehr (auch: Oberes Elsterwehr) befindet sich am südlichen (bezüglich der Flussrichtung oberen) Ende des Elsterbeckens (Ortsteil Zentrum-West). Es reduziert den Wasserspiegel von 106,9 Meter üNN (südlich) auf 104,4 Meter üNN (nördlich). Über die 50 Meter lange und 5 Meter breite Wehrbrücke führt die Straße Am Elsterwehr. Das Palmengartenwehr wurde von 1913 bis 1917 als kombiniertes Walzen-/ Schützen-Wehr erbaut. Die Bauleitung wurde durch den Leipziger Architekten Georg Wünschmann (1868–1937) ausgeführt, der auch die äußere Gestaltung entwarf. Seinen Namen erhielt das Palmengartenwehr nach dem am westlichen Brückenlager befindlichen Palmengarten, einem 1893–1899 geschaffenem Vergnügungspark, dessen Reste 1955–2011 zum Clara-Zetkin-Park gehörten. Das Wehr dient der Steuerung des Wasserzulaufs aus der hier von Westen kommenden Weißen Elster sowie des von Süden kommenden vereinigten Elster- und Pleiße­flutbetts in das nördlich liegende Elsterbecken. Außerdem ist es möglich, die südlichen Pegel so weit abzusenken, dass die südlich des Wehres nach Osten abgehende Alte Elster mit dem später abzweigenden Elstermühlgraben trocken fällt. Das gesamte Wehr ist mit Granitsteinen verblendet. Die drei aufgesetzten Gebäude verfügen über Walmdächer, die mit roten Ziegeln gedeckt sind. Das Wehr ist streng symmetrisch konstruiert: in der Mitte befindet sich das Haus mit den Steuerungsanlagen und Windwerken der beiden sich links und rechts anschließenden Walzen, die in je 17 Meter breiten Bögen liegen. Hieran schließen sich ebenfalls auf beiden Seiten schmalere Schützenöffnungen an, über denen die zugehörigen kleineren Schützhäuser stehen. Das Palmengartenwehr ist ein technisches Denkmal. Gleichwohl ist es noch voll funktionstüchtig und erfüllt wichtige Aufgaben im Hochwasserschutz für die Stadt Leipzig. Ein Defekt am Palmengartenwehr führte am 10. Juli 1954 nach starken Niederschlägen zur Überflutung großer Teile der äußeren Westvorstadt sowie des Waldstraßenviertels.

(Translated by Google) Impressive weir. Beautiful water views. A walk and visit there is worth it at any time of the year. (Original) Beeindruckendes Wehr. Schöne Wasseransichten. Ein Spaziergang und Besuch dorthin lohnt sich zu jeder Jahreszeit.

(Translated by Google) There is a white (albino) duck at the Palmengartenweir/Elsterwehr, she lives there and is a great eye-catcher. The area is ideal for walks. There is a snack bar nearby. (Original) Es gibt eine weiße (Albino-)Ente am Palmengartenwehr/Elsterwehr, sie wohnt dort und ist ein toller Hingucker. Für Spaziergänge ist die Gegend hervorragend geeignet. In der Nähe gibt es einen Imbiss.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful location, even at sunset and great to view from the water (Original) Wunderbare Location auch bei Sonnenuntergang und vom Wasser aus toll zu betrachten

Very good Park. you can Buy a lot of substances from the local nafris. But its Not Cheap, because of this: 4 Stars

Great place to spend some time. With pond situated around a kind of park, with lovely trees and flowers, everything is perfect to be closer to nature and to get some fresh air. Ducks can be seen in pond.

(Translated by Google) The Schwanenstreich behind Leipzig's Opera is also an interesting, beautiful and romantic place at night, when the lights of the surrounding buildings are reflected in the water. (Original) Der Schwanenstreich hinter Leipzigs Oper ist Nachts auch ein interessanter, schöner und romantischer Ort, wenn sich die Lichter der umliegenden Gebäude im Wasser spiegeln.

(Translated by Google) Meeting place for many young people. So it can get a little louder. But I think the pond is great. The location in the city center is also great. Invites you to take a break. (Original) Treffpunkt für viele junge Leute. Kann also mal etwas lauter werden. Find den Teich aber super. Die Lage in der Innenstadt ist auch super. Lädt zum rasten ein.

(Translated by Google) A small picturesque pond in the very center of the city between the Hauptbahnhof train station and the main square of the city, Augustusplatz. (Original) Небольшой живописный пруд в самом центре города между вокзалом Hauptbahnhof и главной площадью города Augustusplatz.

(Translated by Google) A great place to spend the evening intoxicated. The good stuff is available right next door at your trusted dealer. But be careful: the park is regularly patrolled by the police. And they don't know how to joke at all. Ads aren't that bad, but they take away the good stuff right away. Therefore a star deduction. (Original) Ein toller Ort, um berauscht den Abend zu verbringen. Das gute Zeug gibt es gleich nebenan beim Dealer des Vertrauens. Aber vorsicht: der Park wird regelmäßig von der Polizei bestreift. Und die verstehen überhaupt keinen Spaß. Anzeige ist ja nicht so schlimm, aber die nehmen einem das gute Zeugs gleich wieder weg. Deshalb einen Stern Abzug.

(Translated by Google) No pond there (Original) Kein Teich da

Beautiful place, very peaceful and offers a lot to see. You can also pay a small fee and visit the greenhouses, where you can see plants from different ecosystems (tropical, Mediterranean, mangroves) and of course don't forget the butterfly house.

For only €3 student entry this is an experience that you must go to whilst in Leipzig. All of the greenhouses were beautifully maintained and we got to see a butterfly emerge from a chrysalis which was a very special moment.

Stunning place and so well taken care of. Enjoyed the butterflies as well as the greenery. My partner and I just got engaged there, and it will always be a special memory 💜

The hothouse where the butterflies are is quite small, and quite warm (especially since we visited on a summer day) but you can see the butterflies up close. I kind of expected more variety, but anyway, you do get to see some beautiful creatures.

Not too much to see in late March

A pleasant afternoon activity 😊 would highly recommend 👌

Beautiful butterflies and exotic tropical plants in the glass house as well as some interesting cacti and succulents. Also had some cool plants for sale if only I'd not been flying so couldn't bring any home. Maybe a little expensive at €5 since quite small area but I guess you don't get a lot for €5 these days.

Great park to visit during the sunny days. I enjoyed my stay there.

a very well-kep near-train station park, which is pretty rare nowadays!

Beautiful place

Clean place, but a lot of Arabic people. If u know what i mean🙈😅

(Translated by Google) Directly opposite the train station: the Lower Park. Really nice for a little break in between. Pretty flower borders in front big swaying trees. But why on earth are people not allowed to enter the meadow? The grass, clover, daisies and other herbs certainly wouldn't mind. Very suitable as a lawn for sunbathing - despite the completely unnecessary prohibition signs. (Original) Direkt dem Bahnhof gegenüber: der Untere Park. Richtig schön für die kleine Pause zwischendurch. Hübsche Blumenrabatten vor großen wogenden Bäumen. Warum aber um alles in der Welt, dürfen Menschen die Wiese nicht betreten? Das Gras, der Klee, die Gänseblümchen und andere Kräuter würden dies sicher nicht verübeln. Als Liegewiese — trotz völlig überflüssiger Verbotsschilder — sehr gut geeignet.

(Translated by Google) It would actually be a nice park if it weren't for the many people in particular social difficulties who, among other things, sell illegal drugs there and also empty their bladders in an extremely reckless and unabashed manner in front of the neighboring main train station. Get away with voting for the Greens. 😀 (Original) Eigentlich ein schöner Park, wären dort nich die vielen Personen in besonderen sozialen Schwierigkeiten, welche dort unter anderem illegale Rauschmittel verkaufen und auch vor dem benachbarten Hauptbahnhof äußerst rücksichtslos und ungeniert ihre Harnblase entleeren. Kommt davon, wenn man die Grünen wählt. 😀

(Translated by Google) It's a real shame that the park is being abused like this. Especially when you leave the main station, the smell outside isn't enough, and the sight of the figures vegetating in front of you isn't enough. This weekend was the gymnastics festival, and Leipzig showed off its best side, didn't it? Perhaps we shouldn't just think about bike paths, but also tackle certain problems. (Original) Richtig schade dass der Park so missbraucht wird. Vor allem wenn man HBF verlässt, reicht ja nicht schon der Geruch vor dem Bahnhof dann auch noch der Anblick der Gestalten, die vor sich vegetieren. Dieses Wochenende war Turnfest und Leipzig hat sich von der besten Seite gezeigt, nicht , vielleicht sollte man nicht nur an Fahrradwege denken sondern auch gewisse Probleme in den Griff kriegen.

Beautiful stroll, close to Leipzig

I had a great walk thru the park. I also appreciate the constant change of bodies of water and how the park seemed to be nearly untouched, cuz everything grow in a natural way. If ya wanna enjoy a nice afternoon or at any time of day outside, get to the Schloßpark Lützschena.

If you were going to visit this place ,You were be more open-minded..

Nice place for walking for relax

Nice place !

Very nice garden👏

amazing and beautiful garden 😍😍😍😍

It's good for kids and there is Duck and fish

Good

Super

(Translated by Google) ...the park, formerly called In the Facilities, was once a very beautiful, well-kept place designed with a healthy spirit. When you look at old postcards and photos, you realize with an uneasy feeling how degenerated we are today in terms of beauty and building skills. The waters are also often used as a garbage dump and the animals living there are often treated without any compassion, especially by young people. Anyone who walks through the park with an attentive eye might be lucky enough to see the pair of loons that live there... (Original) ...der Park, früher In den Anlagen genannt, war einmal ein sehr schöner, gepflegter und mit gesunden Geist angelegter Ort. Wenn man alte Ansichtskarten und Fotos betrachtet erkennt man mit ungutem Gefühl wie degeneriert wir heute bezüglich Schönheit und baulichen Fähigkeiten sind. Die Gewässer werden auch gern als Müllkippe benutzt und die dort lebenden Tiere gerade von der Jugend immer wieder ohne jedes Mitgefühl behandelt. Wer mit aufmerksamen Blick durch den Park geht hat vielleicht das Glück das dort lebende Eistaucherpärchen zu erblicken....

(Translated by Google) Many stays in Grimma always include a break at the swan pond. Fountain and scissor grinder always in sight! (Original) Bei vielen Aufenthalten in Grimma ist immer eine Ruhepause am Schwanenteich dabei. Fontäne und Scherenschleifer immer in Sichtweite !

(Translated by Google) Nice to linger and watch geese (Original) Schön zum Verweilen und Gänse gucken

(Translated by Google) Pure relaxation. It's just a shame that the geese scare the ducks away. But the fish are bigger. (Original) Erholung pur. Schade nur, daß die Gänse die Enten verscheuchen. Dafür sind die Fische um do größer.

Amazing place zo relax in city center ✌🥰

(Translated by Google) A beautifully landscaped, quiet park strip in the heart of Leipzig! Old trees and well-maintained paths.

(Translated by Google) A cute and cozy garden of medicinal and spice plants, which is full of various plants - ordinary spices or poisonous ones, from which medicinal preparations are made. A large collection of lavenders, there are plant labels with explanations, it's fun to walk around the garden and just relax on the bench (Original) Mielas ir jaukus vaistinių bei prieskoninių augalų sodelis, kuriame gausu įvairių augalų - įprastinių prieskonių ar nuodingų, iš kurių gaminami vaistiniai preparatai.
