Bad Erna

Bad Erna is a recreation area in the Elbe-Elster District with a natural swimming lake surrounded by forests and designated swimming areas near Lindena. The site offers leisure opportunities for visitors who want to swim, play, or enjoy nature.

The site became popular over 100 years ago when a dedicated train line brought visitors from Berlin to this natural retreat. This railway connection made it a favored destination for day trips from the capital.

The site serves as a meeting place for local residents who gather during summer months to spend time outdoors and connect with neighbors.

Visitors can find a children's playground with a pirate ship, monitored swimming areas, and several nearby accommodation options on site. The area is easily accessible and provides everything needed for a pleasant day at the lake.

The site connects to the protected Hammerteichen landscape, where visitors can obtain fishing permits and explore former mining lakes. These connected waters offer water sports enthusiasts and nature lovers a larger adventure area.
