Great Pönitzer Lake

Highlight • Lake

Far away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the Baltic Sea, there is nature here and also a place to swim. The path along the lake is very easy to cycle on, even if it is quite narrow for oncoming cyclists. So please be careful around the blind bends.

Klingberg bathing establishment on Lake Pönitz

Highlight • Lake

Not far from the bustling Baltic Sea beach of Scharbeutz, nature lovers will find a unique and idyllic lake district. The Pönitz Lakes, with the Großer Pönitzer See (Large Pönitz Lake), Kleiner Pönitzer See (Small Pönitz Lake), and Taschensee (Pocket Lake), are surrounded by beech forests and the Scharbeutz Heath.

During the summer months, the lakes invite visitors to swim away from the crowds. There are two access points to the Großer Pönitzer See. The bathing area at Klingberg is ideal for families, even those with small children, as this section is supervised by the German Lifesaving Association (DLRG). More experienced swimmers can access the lake via the small jetty at the Haus des Gastes (Visitor Center) in Klingberg or via the path by the campsite.
