The resort on the Märkisches Meer
The officially recognized holiday resort on the shores of Lake Scharmützelsee, with a direct lock connection to Lake Großer Storkower See and the Glubigseen chain, offers numerous recreational and leisure opportunities for the whole family.
Health expert Kneipp has also found a permanent place in Wendisch Rietz with a fitness and wellness park named after him.
In the state-approved holiday resort of Wendisch Rietz, this is actually the case, with activities for the whole family – first and foremost in and on the water. To the north lie the 13,9 square kilometres of Scharmützelsee, and to the south lie the chain of Glubig lakes.
To the west is Lake Storkow, which has been connected to Lake Scharmützelsee by the Rietzer Graben since 1732. From there, the lock built in Wendisch Rietz in 1862 enables direct shipping to Berlin.
Further options for a relaxing and active holiday include an extensive network of paths through forests and fields, equally inviting for cyclists, hikers and walkers, bathing beaches, the Scharmuntzelland family and leisure park, a children's animal farm, sports and playgrounds, Kneipp park and the guest house in the town centre. A sauna area and chirotherapy ensure well-being.
If your stomach starts to rumble, there are many ways to satisfy your hunger: with a snack, in an inn serving regional cuisine or in a gourmet restaurant. In any case, with fish from local waters.
After so much variety, you can then find peace in cozy holiday homes and houses, in comfortable apartments or on the campsite.

Healthy fun around water
"That's why you should go outside as soon as you can, and don't forget the water!" Following this request from Sebastian Kneipp is easy in Wendisch Rietz.
The Ice Age left a huge "V" in the Brandenburg landscape with the Scharmützelsee and Storkower See. Wendisch Rietz is located right at the tip of this "V". So you never forget the water here, because to the north lies the Scharmützelsee, to the south the Glubigseen chain and to the west the Storkower See.
Water lovers in particular will not be left out in the wide range of water sports on offer. There is everything from fishing to cutter and boat trips to surfing, boating and pedal boating. The sauna area and chiropractic therapy ensure well-being. Here, the spirits can be awakened with cold water in the Kneipp park with fitness trail, Kneipp pools for all ages, meditation meadow and playground.
Wendisch Rietz is the epitome of an active and relaxing holiday in many variations with the whole family. It is no wonder that the state-approved holiday resort was awarded the title of "family and child-friendly community" by the state of Brandenburg in 2009. This is demonstrated by the beautiful holiday home complexes and the campsite directly on the lake, as well as inviting beaches, tennis courts and the leisure park with a children's animal farm, playgrounds and small sports facilities.
An extensive network of paths through the forest and fields is ideal for cyclists, horse riders, hikers and walkers alike. A diverse pleasure that is also healthy.

Our colleague Jennifer Ehm thought that there is not only a lot to see in the Oder-Spree Lake District, but also a lot to hear.
So she grabbed her recording device and met interesting people on her forays through the Oder-Spree Lake District. The result is podcast episodes that provide insights into the work and voluntary commitment of many people in the Lake District. They report on tours and describe the beautiful and water-rich natural landscape of the Lake District.
