Leipzig is a city of water, with around 180 kilometres of rivers flowing through it and beautiful lakes like Lake Cospuden. The city’s water network is perfect for exploring Leipzig by boat. But where to start? Leipzig city harbor (Stadthafen Leipzig) is the central hub, offering canoe and motorboat tours, and is besides that an event location with restaurant and cafe. Opened in June 2026, it’s a must-visit. In this episode, Axel and new podcast host Klara explore how to plan an all-inclusive canoe tour to Lake Cospuden, find the most scenic water spots, and discover the best locations and activities at the Lake.
