Rest area and lakeside benches at Arendsee

Highlight • Rest Area

Great rest house right on the lake promenade. The food (fries with currywurst) was exceptionally tasty. I didn't expect that. Highly recommended.

September 1, 2024,Rund um den Arendsee

Our Sunday walk took us to Arendsee today. The path was beautiful and easy to walk. Unfortunately, parts of the lake and beach were not there (fees apply). The weather was very good. And the ice cream 🍦🍦 tasted good too. 😀😀🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

The Arendsee is one of the most popular lakes in Germany. It is the largest and deepest natural lake in Saxony-Anhalt.

It was time for another walk around Lake Arendsee. 😅

My best friend and I last walked around the lake together around Christmas. That day was foggy and misty; today's sunny weather was, of course, much nicer, although it was cool and windy when we set off (5°C).
There are people who jog 2-3 laps around Lake Arendsee several times …

... my farewell walk from the Altmark mutated into a fence run.
I've never seen so many fences. Not even on the Havel.
The Arendsee can probably be packed into the fences 35 times.
In places I felt like I was walking between rows of cages.
Of course there are also wonderful sections.

Out on foot today. Around Lake Arendsee. There's so much to discover.
Still quiet even in peak season.
I highly recommend the "Haus am See" sports and wellness hotel.
Family-run, everything is top-notch. The chef deserves a star. The wellness offerings are superb. The service is perfect. Everything is just right here!

Exactly, we have already cycled with you there on the Altmark Rundkurs and eaten at the Wanderrast am See. From Salzwedel to Arendsee and around it 58 km! It is still fresh here and nature still has a lot to do until it becomes colorful..

😎👍🏻💯The start is in the pretty and diverse town of the same name south of the water🅿️📍 at the town hall.

Unwind, look out over the water,
take a path that seems to suggest itself.
If these components of a successful hike are important and valuable to you, you should definitely take the Arendsee lake trail. It runs for 10 …

Once around the big pond. Arendsee is worth visiting at any time of the year.
