Swimming in the Baldeneysee

After a 46-year ban on swimming, the prohibition was lifted, and an official bathing area was established at Lake Baldeneysee. As an artificial lake, Lake Baldeneysee has no shallow shoreline, which means that only strong swimmers are allowed to swim there. This swimming area at Lake Baldeneysee is supervised by a lifeguard. The water quality is also regularly tested. In case of contamination – usually after heavy rainfall – a swimming ban can be imposed at short notice.
