Borna Speicherbecken (Borna)

Borna Speicherbecken is a small inland reservoir spot near Borna with a narrow sand-and-gravel shoreline and an approximately 20 m standing area. The beach provides a lot of grass for rigging and setup, which makes it practical for learning and for casual sessions. Local windsurfing is highlighted as the main activity at the spot, supported by the presence of a surf club with its own area. Water conditions are described as flat to chop, with no notable shore break. For kiters, the water can be a good flat-water playground once you’re out on the reservoir, but the near-shore zone is tighter and more affected by gustiness. For wingfoiling, the grassy assembly space is convenient, and the spot is workable once you’re beyond the shallow standing area. Wind is most often expected from the south through west—reported as S, WSW, and W (and also described as cleanest in North-Westerly winds). Typical wind speeds are given as roughly 10–22 knots, with medium overall reliability. Gustiness is more noticeable close to launch due to trees and embankments, and power lines in the access vicinity can contribute to uneven flow near the shore. For planning your gear, conditions are warmer in summer (shorts may be sufficient with warm air), while spring and autumn require a wetsuit. Outside summer, the water temperatures are reported to be cool to cold, so cold-water readiness (including protection for the shallow entry stones) is important. Users are also advised to use designated areas and respect local club/private property boundaries.
