Passenger boat trips on Lake Markkleeberg

... operates from April to October.

The first ship, the MS Wachau, which offers space for a total of 130 passengers, is a so-called frontlander, which is why it can also be used by wheelchair users, cyclists and with prams without any problems. Catering is also provided.

The MS Störmthal, which is identical in construction, is underway on Lake Störmthal.

A special highlight is a passage through the canoe park lock (unfortunately not possible at the moment), which was opened in 2013 and connects Lake Markkleeberg with the neighbouring Lake Störmthal.

The second ship, the MS Markkleeberg, is similar in design to the MS Wachau, but has room for 400 passengers. Due to its size, it only operates on Lake Markkleeberg..
