Badestelle Jatznik
Badestelle Jatznik is a small swimming area on a lake called Erdkuhle in the municipality of Jatznick in northeastern Germany. The water slopes gently at the shore, with a substantial dock structure for easy entry and expansive lawns where visitors sit on towels or benches.
Lake Erdkuhle was created in the 19th century through clay extraction, with the resulting pit later filled by groundwater. This former industrial landscape gradually became a popular recreation spot for the people of Jatznick over the following decades.
The lake is called Erdkuhle and has served the local community as a gathering place for relaxation across generations. The site reflects the simple, water-connected way of life that characterizes this region.
The site is best visited during daylight in good weather and offers parking nearby along with changing facilities. The short path from the parking area passes through grass and trees before reaching the water's edge.
The lake water originates from groundwater that filled an old clay mining pit, giving the water distinctive properties and clarity. Regular testing shows consistently high water quality with visibility that makes swimming both pleasant and safe.
