cities = Schönau-Berzdorf The Berzdorfer See or Lake Berzdorf is situated near the southern border of Görlitz in Saxony, Germany. The artificial lake was created out of a former lignite mine — the process of flooding it is ongoing, and it is expected to be finished in 2008. The planned surface of the lake is expected to be about 10 km². Its name derives from the small village Schönau-Berzdorf to the southwest of the lake. It is expected to be one of the largest lakes in Saxony.

The lake is planned be a tourist site with a harbour for some smaller boats, a beach for swimmers, and some restaurants. Other things planned are a camp site and golf course. An 18 kilometer long scenic route is planned to go around the lake.
