Leipzig – September 11, 2026 -- The Lagovida resort on Störmthaler See, roughly 20 minutes from Leipzig, will run its ice-stock shooting rink from October 15, 2026, through March 14, 2027. The activity, a traditional winter sport similar to curling, requires only an ice stock and sturdy shoes to join in.
Visitors can warm up with lakeside dining after the rink
After a round on the ice, the on-site restaurant Casa Marina serves regional and seasonal dishes with views over the lake. The resort's See-Sauna, located directly on the water, adds a wellness option with direct lake access for guests seeking extended relaxation.
Nearby attractions expand the winter itinerary around the lake
The Bergbau-Technik-Park displays original heavy machinery from the region's former lignite mining operations, viewable independently via information boards and audio guide or through guided tours. The 15-meter floating church Vineta, reachable by the Vineta ferry, commemorates villages lost to open-pit mining and hosts concerts, readings and weddings alongside its bistro terrace. Elle's Erlebnisparcours offers archery, axe-throwing and slingshot activities for visitors seeking additional outdoor adventure.
A regional discount card covers multiple partner sites
The Leipzig Regio Card provides discounts at several partners across the Leipziger Neuseenland, including the Bergbau-Technik-Park, Vineta and Elle's Erlebnisparcours.
