A wonderful vantage point on the southern shore of Lake Bergen. With a lot of luck, you can see wolves in the wild from here. An El Dorado for nature filmmakers and nature lovers.

The cycle path between the state road and the Schwarze Elster is in very good condition. You can let it roll here.

Flat beach into the water, therefore also suitable for children. The access is steep, however. Snack bar and boat/SUP rental available.

Beautiful swimming lake with a snack bar, kayak, SUP and bike rental. Affordable campsite. The only drawback: the toilet is only open when the snack bar is open. You should have your own camping toilet on board for the night and morning.
