A nice little harbor, which is at least mostly more sheltered from the wind.

A great lake for swimming. Very clear water. The bike path along the western shore is mostly well-paved.

There are numerous public bathing areas on Scharmützelsee, Storkower See and other forest lakes that invite you to swim, row or sail. If you are active in the summer, you should pack your bathing suit, as you can take a refreshing dip at all accessible places, and for fun regardless of the weather, the Schwapp leisure pool and the SaarowTherme offer relaxation and well-being.

The lock, which has existed since 1865, was renovated in 1965 with concrete chamber walls and automated in 2004. The lock is activated using the request levers at the waiting points in the respective outer harbor. During operation in the summer months, up to 10,000 pleasure boats are on the move here. It is one of three locks that must be overcome on the way from Berlin to Scharmützelsee.
