New benches in Niesky: Anglerverein ensures relaxation on the pond!

Niesky, Deutschland - In Niesky, the efforts to have an attractive leisure offer on the water have reached a new climax. The Niesky angler association recently set up three new wooden benches on the popular gravel pits. This initiative, which results from a felled oak of a club member, not only led to the creation of new seating, but also used the wood sensibly instead of simply disposing of it as firewood. This reported Sächsische.de .

The new benches were transported and installed with the support of the city's building yard. Mayor Kathrin Uhlemann praised the cooperation and emphasized the importance of these seating for the older citizens who can take a break during their walks. The building yard also provided six concrete slabs to stability the benches.

activities of the fishing association

The gravel pits that are leased by the Saxon Angler Association Elbflorenz serve not only as fishing ponds for the local clubs, but also as a place of relaxation for walkers. Anglers and those seeking relaxation share the banks of the waters in which types such as carp, pike, perch and pikeperch can be found. Frank Hendrik, the head of the Niesky local group and treasurer of the fishing association, highlights the variety of fish species.

Currently, the Niesky Anglerverein counts 934 members who are organized in a total of ten local groups, with four of the groups being active directly in Niesky. The commitment of these members extends beyond fishing: In 2025, various work assignments on the angler island and a fishing license course are planned. These are part of the continuous activities that promote club life and strengthen the sense of community, as can be read on the website of the Niesky Angler Association ( anglerverein-niesky.de ).

regional angler associations

In addition, the use for fishing in the entire region of Saxony is shown by a variety of angler associations. From Bautzen to Dresden to Saxon Switzerland - the various clubs offer different activities and communities for anglers fundamentally. Examples are "fishing luck" Bautzen e. V. and "Dresden fishing friends" e. V. among many others who can be found in a comprehensive list to sachsen-online.net

Overall, the Niesky Anglerverein not only contributes to promoting fishing in the region, but also for enriching leisure activities and strengthening community relationships. The new benches are a step in the right direction to further develop this area.
