Access
Kiesgrube Liebersee is located between the towns of Belgern and Mühlberg on the other side of the river Elbe. I suggest coming via the Belgern side in the north via the village of Dröschkau. From there, you can take a quick walk to watch the lake. However, please note that this route takes you to the lake from the North. Depending the day time, you may looks towards the sun.
