Liepnitzsee, Natural lake in Wandlitz, Brandenburg, Germany.

The lake was formed during the last ice age when glacial movements carved a basin into the Brandenburg landscape. This glacial origin shaped the water body we see today.

The lake has designated swimming areas and boat rentals for various activities. Walking trails connect the shores and parking is available at main access points.
The island is inhabited and accessible only by ferry, making it a rare feature in the region. Visitors can reach the beer garden and catch glimpses of island life.
