Into the Water

Water fun in the Oder-Spree Lake District

The Oder-Spree Lake District is a true Eldorado for those hungry for water. Among the 300 lakes in the Oder-Spree Lake District are true paradises for swimming and relaxing 
- and not far from Berlin. 

Scharmützelsee, Schwielochsee and Ranziger See are just a few examples of lakes with the best water quality.

One lake more beautiful than the other…

The most beautiful bathing lakes

Hundreds of lakes, small canals, streams and of course the namesakes Oder and Spree make the Lake District so unique.

Our tours on the water offer the right body of water for every preference. Whether alone or in a group: every nature lover will find the right opportunity in our region to create special experiences in our water kingdom. In between, you can also just drift and unwind. Water lovers are not left out either, because jumping into the cool water is possible anywhere on hot days.

Off to the water!
