Small quiet place for a break.

The Halbesee is the second lake in the chain of lakes of the Platkow mill stream and is located south of Diedersdorf. In principle, the lake can be completely circumnavigated, but the northern part of the circular route is in a protected and spawning area. Outside of the breeding and spawning season it should be possible to walk here and anglers can also be seen here regularly.

The highlight should better be called "View to Lietzen Commandery", because it is directly opposite and the view is indeed excellent.

Small, partly shady bathing area with a small lawn and a beautiful view of the lake and commandery at one of the few places on the east bank where you can get right to the lake.

Unfortunately we didn't see any kingfishers 😐. At first we thought it was swallow caves.

This small bathing area with a bench and a wonderful view of the lake is located directly at the southern tip next to the tributary of the Platkower Mühlenfiß in the Halbesee.

This is a nice weather shelter on the cycle path on the route of the former Oderbruchbahn. Unfortunately there is no table or rubbish bin. Otherwise you can take a nice break here.
