KIEZ Am Filzteich

recommended for school classes; I've also been to summer camp here

There are a variety of options for active relaxation at the Filzteich.
An 85 m long large water slide, a children's slide, a diving platform, water pedals and rowing boats offer the ideal conditions for an ideal bathing experience. Table tennis tables, a suspension cable car and several children's playgrounds ensure variety and fun. But also beach chairs, loungers, deck chairs for hire, a huge range of sunbathing areas and a nudist beach invite visitors to relax and unwind. Open-air restaurants and snack bars round off a visit to the Filzteich. Furthermore, numerous events take place during the bathing season.The Filzteich is one of the earliest and at the same time the largest water reservoirs in the Schneeberg mining area. The naming is related to the peat bogs in its catchment area, colloquially referred to as felt. These are also responsible for the brownish discoloration of the water due to bog cloudy substances. Since 1933 the Filzteich has been the lido of the region.Did you know that the Filzteich was voted one of the top 100 bathing lakes in Germany and is one of the 5 most beautiful bathing lakes in Saxony?
