Those who walk along the path near the shore will enjoy many beautiful views of the lake, but few good opportunities for swimming. Here is one of the best. A large meadow, benches, and two excellent entrances into the water. Just above the embankment, you can see a ruined building of the former Lychen pulmonary sanatorium rising above the trees. But the fully fenced-in grounds are no longer a lost place. Many of the buildings have been stylishly renovated, creating a first-class park-like property. There are exclusive apartments and even vacation apartments available for short-term rentals!

Very nice bathing spot on Lychen's second most beautiful lake. The Platkowsee tops it. Same water quality but absolutely natural.
