If you have the privilege to stay in Leipzig during the summer season, you have plenty of options to experience the city! In the South of the city, you can find the “Cospudener See”, also called “Cossi” by the Leipzig people, a lake where you can enjoy beach vibes including playing volleyball or renting a SUP. Probably you will see the best sunsets here and also spontaneous beach parties can be an option if you’re up for it. Another highlight is the “Karl-Heine-Kanal”. This is a channel flowing mostly through the western part of the city. It’s quite common to rent a canoe and explore Leipzig from the water’s perspective. In case you’re not the canoe-type, you can also hit up your friends and sip a cold drink by the river side. Sticking to nature, we won’t forget about Leipzig’s parks: the “Clara-Zetkin-Park” as well as the “Lene-Voigt-Park” offer a lot of space for many activities including round, barbecues, playing frisbee, beerpong tournaments and having a picnic. Whenever you’re in the mood for taking a drink in a bar, we can recommend the “Hafenbar” located in the “Südvorstadt” or, if you want something fancier, the “Bar Cabana” (a rooftop bar close to the city center). Obviously, this is not all and there are many other opportunities.
