The Leipziger Neuseenland is a partially emerging post- mining landscape that belongs to the Central German Lakeland . These include shares in the Leipzig district , in the northern Saxony district and in the city of Leipzig. As part of the recultivation and renaturation of the former lignite extraction and its facilities, numerous bodies of water have emerged from the remaining open-cast mining holes , which will fill up over the next few years and decades and which are to be partly connected with canals. The lake network is to take up a water area of ​​around 70 km² and be used for tourism as well as for flood protection.

As part of the application by the city of Leipzig for the 2012 Olympic Games , the New Lake District was intended for competitions in sports such as rowing , canoeing , canoe slalom , tennis, mountain biking, cycling, trap and skeet shooting , triathlon and beach volleyball . The Markkleeberg Canoe Park was built for this in Markkleeberg .
