The lake is very quiet outside. There are many small bathing spots and a jetty. On the lawn there are barbecue areas and a few benches. In the evening the mosquitoes that are on the menu come.

The Stadtsee is a lake near Strasburg (Uckermark) in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. The approximately 20 hectare body of water is located in the urban area of Strasburg (Uckermark), 500 meters southeast of the town center at an altitude of around 56 m above sea level. The lake also has a small overgrown island. From the west, the lake has a tributary through the Mühlbach, which leaves it in the north and flows towards the Uecker. The maximum extent of the city lake is about 580 by 420 meters, the depth 1 to 2.5 m. The lake was formed during the last Vistula Ice Age. It was desludged in 1921, 1949, 1955 and 1977/1978. On the initiative of Mayor Merk, workers laid the Merkpromenade in the western area in 1904. In 1941 the water in the lake was drained and diverted to supply the Strasburg sugar factory with water. French prisoners of war had to clean up the lake, lay rails on the bottom and create the sea route with the excavation. This began on Jüteritzer Strasse and ran to the bridge over the Prinzengraben. In 1955 the southern course of the path was changed and extended to a total length of 1045 m. Due to its history, it is known as the Franzosenweg. A boulder with an information board on the southwestern shore of the lake is a reminder of this work. In the same year, the small island in the lake was created by landfills.
