    Very quiet and secluded swimming area

      Anyone who gets out of bed early – and by early, I mean before the first smell of freshly baked bread at the bakery – will not only be treated to a sunrise at Pätzer Vordersee, but also a kind of landscape theater that exists entirely without curtains. Just sky, water, and light. You stand there, as still as a frog in the reeds, and think to yourself: This is Brandenburg in widescreen format.

      The loop around the lake is just under seven kilometers long – perfect for people who want to walk more than hike, but still need the feeling of being on the move. The path winds through sparse forests, past hidden swimming spots, and repeatedly offers views of water that, in the morning, is so smooth as if it had been freshly ironed by the night.

      On the eastern shore, the reeds rustle as if they were trying to tell you something. Perhaps that the lake is part of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park. Or that it's up to 16.2 meters deep—which, given the shallow Brandenburg lake, almost qualifies as a deep-sea adventure. And somewhere between the Vordersee and Hintersee lakes, there's a modern weir with a fish pass so that migratory fish can reconnect. Even the fish here are on a migratory holiday.

      If you're lucky, you won't encounter anyone, just your own thoughts and a heron that looks like it just twisted itself while practicing yoga. Those who arrive later might hear more voices—children on the shore, anglers in boats, the wind sneaking through the trees.

        The Pätzer Vordersee is an approximately 1.7 km² large body of water inBestensee, Dahme-Spreewald district. It is part of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park and the conservation area of the same name.

        The lake is part of the Dahme river system. It has a connection to the Pätzer Hintersee in the south and to the Todnitzsee in the north via the Glunze. The sluice between Vordersee and Todnitzsee was replaced by a modern weir with a weir and a fishway, as the Pätz chain of lakes is to be made passable again for migratory fish. There is no connection to Lake Tonsee to the north-east.

        To the south of the Pätzer Vordersee lies the district of Pätz in the municipality of Bestesee and north-west of the town center ofBestensee. Federal highway 179 runs to the east, federal highway 246 to the north, and federal highway 13 and the Berlin–Görlitz railway run to the west.

        The maximum depth is 16.2 m.
