Scharmützelsee: Top water quality – safe bathing pleasure guaranteed!
The Scharmützelsee, a truly popular destination for those seeking relaxation and water sports enthusiasts, continues to show its best side. According to current tests by the Oder-Spree Health Authority, the water quality at the official bathing areas such as Diensdorf and Bad Saarow proves to be microbiologically perfect. These positive results were checked and confirmed in June 2025, ensuring bathing pleasure in the region again this year. As oderwelle.de reports, all 34 monitored bathing areas in the district meet the strict requirements for safe bathing.
The most recent studies show that the water quality in the Diensdorf lido is excellent, is well below the limits for Escherichia coli and enterococci and has a visibility depth of up to two meters. Ellen Rußig, managing director of Seenland Oder-Spree e.V., speaks of a “safe, clean and attractive bathing destination” that brings joy and raises no concerns. The fact that the Diensdorf lido is “not objectionable” also speaks for the first-class water quality and the good conditions for swimmers and bathers.
Context and further information
However, there is a different assessment for an individual site in the remote northern area of Lake Scharmützel, which dates back to 2024. However, this is not representative of the main bathing areas, which are still all top rated. So the concerns raised by an EU report that classifies a northern bathing spot as “poor” only concern an isolated point and should not cloud the entire perception. This is emphasized again by Ellen Rußig: “The excellent ratings of the main bathing areas are undisputed.”
For all water sports enthusiasts and bathers who want to swim safely in Scharmützelsee, we recommend the official platform for bathing waters in Brandenburg. Here, anyone interested can find information about water analyses, visibility depths and microbiological assessments, which make every visit to the lake a carefree excursion.
With these results, Scharmützelsee remains a popular attraction in East Brandenburg, which not only invites you to relax, but also offers real natural fun for the whole family. If you love nature and are looking for a clean swimming paradise, this is the right place for you!
