  • Fantastic water: Emerald green and turquoise colors combined with white, sandy bottom like in the South Seas - perfect for swimming.

  • A variety of activities: Circular hikes through the picturesque landscape around the lake.
  • Winter magic: In winter, Lake Weissensee turns into a huge natural ice surface - ideal for ice skating and winter hikes.
