Arendsee has a lot to offer! It is especially beautiful by the water

The circular route (approx. 10 kilometers) leads close to the shore, so you almost always have the lake in view. The Arendsee is the largest natural lake in Saxony-Anhalt and, with depths of up to 50 meters, one of the deepest in Northern Germany.

During GDR times, the VoPo checkpoint was a 5km restricted zone, shortly before the village of Schrampe

There are play areas for children at many points along the circular route around Lake Arendsee.
