Markranstadt

Markranstädt sits on the Luppe River in Saxony, Germany, where the lowlands west of Leipzig meet a landscape reshaped by former lignite mining. The town is closely linked to nearby Altranstädt Castle, where the Peace of Altranstädt was concluded in 1706 during the Great Northern War. Lake Kulkwitz, a former open-cast mine now used for swimming, diving and watersports, lies on the eastern edge of the municipality. Markranstädt combines a small-town centre with easy access to Leipzig’s urban area and the lake country of western Saxony.
