Neuhof: Clay Pit Lake Landscape and Forest Swimming Pool

Neuhof offers two different starting points for planning a trip: the clay pit lake landscape and the forest swimming pool. The landscape is described by its location and named bodies of water; when swimming, seasonal access and water conditions should be taken into account. The focus that matters to you may therefore also affect your timing.

Clay pit lake landscape east of the Havel

East of the Havel, the clay pit lake landscape stretches between Burgwall in the north and Neuhof in the south. Its largest bodies of water include Germaniastich, Faulhaberstich and Schulze-Hübner-Stich. Together, the three cover around 71.5 hectares; this is their combined area, not the area of each individual body of water. The directional description refers to the landscape, while the area figure applies to the three named bodies of water together. This makes it possible to distinguish the landscape’s extent from the combined area of the group of bodies of water.

Swimming at the forest swimming pool

There is a forest swimming pool in Neuhof where you can swim. Access for swimming is seasonal, and water conditions may vary. Check both before planning a visit, especially if a day of swimming is the deciding factor in choosing when to travel. When planning, you should therefore consider not only the swimming facilities themselves, but also the specific timing.

Culture and gardens in the wider destination of Zehdenick

The wider destination of Zehdenick offers other cultural and garden-related attractions. In Zehdenick’s old town, twelve stone heads adorn the facades of various buildings. This facade art offers a different focus from the museum in Zehdenick Monastery: the museum presents the monastery’s history, the lives of the nuns and information about the Zehdenick altar cloth. Thus, an artistic feature in the old town sits alongside several historical museum topics.

Young visitors can pick up a puzzle sheet about the nun Anna at the museum. Those who find the solution word receive a small souvenir at the end. The puzzle sheet thus connects a name from the monastery’s history with a specific activity for younger visitors.

The monastery complex includes an orchard meadow laid out in 2015 based on a historical model and a herb display garden established in 2019. The two gardens have different focuses: the orchard meadow is based on a historical model, while herbs are the focus of the display garden. The Brandenburg Monastery Trail also passes through Zehdenick, providing another point of reference for finding your way using named routes.

Plan your stay around the reason for your trip

If you are looking for a hotel in Neuhof, the reason for your trip can be a useful first filter. If swimming is a priority, factor the forest swimming pool’s seasonal access and varying water conditions into your plans. To get your bearings in the clay pit lake landscape, consider its location and the combined area of its three largest bodies of water. The cultural and garden-related attractions belong to the wider destination of Zehdenick and form a focus of their own there. So choose your destination based on the theme you would like to make the focus of your stay.
