The Scharmützelsee appears peaceful on this sunny late October day. Incidentally, it is not named after a brief military conflict, but rather takes its name from the Middle Low German corruption of the Old Sorbian word for buckthorn, Čremušn. Brandenburg's second largest lake is ten kilometers long, up to one and a half kilometers wide and a maximum of 29 meters deep.

The lake is magnificent! Nature, culture, and a great trail. The water is also amazing—wonderfully soft and clear. It's supposed to be the best swimming lake in Germany 🙂
I highly recommend walking around it, but Wendisch-Rietz wasn't to my taste—too touristy 🙄

In 1942, a film about the Titanic was shot in Scharmützelsee, also known as the “Märkisches Meer”.
