The Sedlitzer See ( Lower Sorbian Sedlišćański jazor ) is a lake in the Lusatian Lakeland chain of lakes and is located in the Brandenburg district of Oberspreewald-Lausitz in Lower Lusatia, right on the border with Saxony.
description
With a water area of 1,330 hectares, it is the largest of 30 artificial lakes of the course of reclamation lignite building area of Lausitz arise. It arises from the former Sedlitz opencast mine . After complete flooding, the lake, together with the Schwielochsee, should be the largest in Brandenburg. In addition to a large closed area of water in the northeast, Lake Sedlitz has two worm-like bays in the south and west. It is connected within the chain of lakes via the Ilse Canal with the Brandenburg Großräschener See and since 2003 with the Brandenburg / Saxon Geierswalder See ( Sorno Canal ) and the Partwitzer See ( Rosendorfer Canal ). The lakes of the chain of lakes are currently still in the flooding phase. The flooding of Lake Sedlitz was originally supposed to be in 2015 and will be completed by 2020 at the earliest in 2023. The chain of lakes drains into the Black Elster .
Tourist projects
The Sedlitzer See is to be developed into the best-developed lake in the chain of lakes in terms of traffic. A water landing pad for light aircraft is planned on the western outlet, south of the Sedlitz location . Holiday apartments and residential properties are also planned at this point. Another area that can be used for tourism is shown in the north-east of the lake, south-east of the Lieske location and south of the B 156 , and holiday apartments are also to be built here. To the west of Lieske and also with direct access to the main road, a campsite is also to be built on the lake.
On October 23, 2008, a 30-meter-high observation tower made of Corten steel was inaugurated on the Sorno Canal , the "Landmark Sedlitz", commonly known as the "Rusty Nail". The name comes from the red-brown patina made of iron oxide, which is said to increase over time. This rust-red color of the steel is supposed to remind of the industrial past of the Lusatian Lakeland. The cost was almost a million euros. The tower was inaugurated in the theme year "Seensucht Lausitz" of the international building exhibition Fürst-Pückler-Land .
On June 15, 2010, construction work began on an approximately 1200 meter long canal for smaller ships between the Sedlitz and Großräschener See. It crosses under the four tracks of the Senftenberg-Cottbus railway line and federal highway 169 . The project cost 12 million euros.
