Hot days in Brandenburg: outdoor pools overcrowded - swimming fun guaranteed!
Summer in Brandenburg shows its varied side. On June 22, 2025, hot weather attracted many people to the region's outdoor pools and lakes. The temperatures in Potsdam climbed to almost 34 degrees, which made for wonderful swimming fun. How the MZ reports, cafés and outdoor pools are well attended, and the seaside resort in Prenzlau recorded a high number of visitors. Ronny Klein, the manager of the seaside resort, confirmed that both the water and the sunbathing areas are very popular. In Prignitz, over 750 guests enjoyed the summer temperatures last Sunday, which represents a pleasing increase compared to less hot days.
But what does it look like overall? The balance of the outdoor pools in Brandenburg is mixed, how the Tagesspiegel highlights. While visitor numbers were excellent from June to mid-July, operators suffered a noticeable decline from July 18 onwards due to rain and falling temperatures. In Klockow and Brüssow, the expected numbers fell short of hopes, while the Beeskow river bathing establishment reported pleasing visitor numbers despite water quality problems.
The effects of the weather
What is particularly noticeable is that the summer of 2023 was not as hot as many would have liked. From mid-August the warm temperatures returned, but were often accompanied by rain and algae-clouded water, which made going to the beach a bit of a gamble. However, the German Weather Service also reported moments of wonderful bathing weather at this time that should not be missed. In Potsdam, around 82,000 guests came to the lido from April 30th to September 15th, which was 13,000 fewer than originally planned. Nevertheless, the number of visitors corresponded to the long-term average before the pandemic.
What does this mean for the future? The surveys on tourism statistics in Brandenburg, carried out by the Berlin-Brandenburg Statistics Office, show the importance of summer tourism for the region. Loud Brandenburg tourism network Around 1,700 establishments are integrated into the official tourism statistics, with important data such as the number of overnight stays and the origin of the guests being recorded. These statistics are crucial to understand the region's development and take appropriate action.
In conclusion, it should be noted that the summer may have had a few surprises, but Brandenburg's outdoor pools have a good chance of remaining on trend. The continued appeal of the watering holes, coupled with the hope for a warm rest of the summer, makes us optimistic about the coming months.
