Mucheln

Mücheln lies on Geiseltalsee in Saxony-Anhalt, where a vast former lignite-mining area has been transformed into Germany’s largest artificial lake by surface area. The town belongs to the Geiseltal, a landscape whose open-cast mines once produced internationally significant Eocene fossils, documenting life in this region millions of years ago. Today the lake gives the area a markedly different character, with a marina, watersports and paths along its shores. Mücheln also sits within reach of the Saale-Unstrut wine country, one of Germany’s northern wine regions. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Mücheln and Saxony-Anhalt.
