Weißer See
This ten meter deep lake is a place for swimming and recreation. In the early 13th Century, fishermen and hunters founded the small village of Weissensee on the lake’s eastern shore.
From shore to shore, Weisse See extends from East to West 305 meters and 350 from North to South. The 1.3 kilometer perimeter road around the 8,400 square-meter lake offers several attractions, including a beach created in 1912 on wooden stilts and filled in with Baltic sand in 1980, the rose garden with a solar clock made of flowers, the open-air theater created in 1957 (3,000 seats), the wildlife sanctuary with wild game (Don’t feed the animals!), the lake bridge platform with two Triton sculptures (sculptor: Hans Schellhorn, 1912), the Milchhäuschen (“little milk house”) restaurant, remodeled in 1967 and completely refurbished in 2005, with its attractive lake terrace and boat rental station. The floating bubbling fountain has been a hallmark of Weissensee since 1969. The large park of 21 hectares featuring trees up to 150 years old and delightful flower beds, and in neighboring streets, the popular Weissensee Flower Festival staged once a year every year since 1963.
