Schwanenteich

Highlight • Lake

Right behind the car park is a place of peace and relaxation. A little piece of nature that suits every city! From there it is not far to the zoo or the old town.

A beautiful spot right on the lake with a small sandy beach. However, swimming is prohibited because Lake Borgwallsee is a drinking water reservoir for Stralsund.

This is where the bike path and hiking trail meet. From here there is a beautiful view of the Richtenberger See and on an information board you can find out more about the area.

The wooden tower has been removed due to dilapidation.
