Landscape
There are many accommodation opportunities with a recreational orientation, which offer Competitors, support staff and officials relaxation before and after the competitions. They can enjoy nearby nature reserves and recreation centres in an idyllic rural landscape. We will gladly assist you in compiling locations for the preparation camps for the individual participating nations. We can currently guarantee accommodation for a maximum of 3,430 people in scenic locations (within one hour’s drive of the Exhibition Centre).

The Leipzig region has more than 120 hectares of forests and parks. There are golf courses, rivers and canals in town and a total of 18 lakes in Leipzig’s “New Lake District” (Neuseenland). In short – Leipzig invites you to bathe, sun bathe, sail, take boat trips, surf, dive and relax.
