The Leipzig environmental protection association Ökolöwe has lodged an objection to the opening of Lake Cospuden to motorboats. The association has announced that it intends to exhaust all legal means against the decision. It is a catastrophe for the "Cossi".
The State Directorate of Saxony had permanently opened the lake south of Leipzig to shipping by general decree. The regulation is to apply to the northern part of the body of water created from a former open-cast mine from February 1. Previously, individual permits were required.
