Discover Klein Wittensee on Lake Wittensee
Accommodation in Klein Wittensee

Lakeshore and Sande
Lake Wittensee is up to 20 metres deep; a tongue of a glacier formed it around 20,000 years ago. There is a barbecue area with toilets in the Sande area. Sande bathing area on the western shore of Lake Wittensee is a place to get into the water for surfing when there are westerly winds. Check the water conditions and access before using the area.

A 15-kilometre mountain bike route is also marked in Brekendorfer Wald. The details differ both in terms of the type of activity and location: the skating route passes through Klein Wittensee, while the mountain bike route is specifically located in Brekendorfer Wald.
Outdoor fitness equipment has been installed by Lake Wittensee in the areas of Klein Wittensee, Groß Wittensee and Bünsdorf. If you plan to use it during your visit, check the equipment’s current condition before using it.
