Both lakes belong to the Biesenthal-Wandlitz-Prendener lake district, which includes around 30 large and small lakes. This water landscape was created during the Weichselian Ice Age and is only around 170 meters wide, but almost 13 times as long. On this short crossing you can experience both lakes, which are privately owned. So use the small free spaces you find, because most of them are fenced off and inaccessible.
