Tips from the Community

Christian
June 2, 2026, Krüselinsee Swimming Area

The way there with the gravel bike from Feldberg is quite sandy. Requires precise riding, otherwise you'll slip away. But afterwards, in the direction of Templin, it's good again and you have good forest floor under your wheels.

This inn is located right on the state border. It has a lovely terrace with a view of the water. Excellent service.

A large campsite on the shore of Lake Dreetz. It's fairly well-equipped with amenities (restrooms, restaurant, diving center, etc.). It's worth noting that the lake is apparently losing more and more water. The water level has dropped by about 2 meters. It's important to note that the swimming area is very well maintained, though.
