Schaalsee bathing area in Seedorf

Highlight • Lake

The Schaalsee is nestled within the biosphere reserve of the same name and, at over 70 meters deep, is considered Northern Germany's deepest clearwater lake. Those who wish to swim here should only do so at designated areas—for example, in Dargow, Lassahn, Seedorf, or at the Zarrentin lido. The water quality is excellent, perfect for a refreshing dip on the go. The protected natural environment surrounding the lake is rich in species and tranquil—ideal for those who appreciate peace, clean air, and clear water. The beer and coffee garden is a pleasant place to relax.

Swimming spot at Priestersee

Highlight • Lake

Like several other smaller lakes, the Priestersee belongs to the Schaalsee, which is one of the deepest German lakes. During the division of Germany, large parts of the area lay in a kind of slumber for almost 40 years, so that nature had room to develop. That's why this area is so beautiful and so worthy of protection that it was declared a Biosphere Reserve in 2000. Anyway, you can not jump into a lake much more idyllic.

Inn by the Lake Seedorf

Highlight • Restaurant

A hotel with bed and bikes, a restaurant, and a beer and coffee garden in a beautiful location right on the lake. It's ideal for a rest. There's also a very nice outdoor swimming area next door.

You don't need anything more.
