The Ziegeleisee in Reinickendorf is not the largest of Berlin's lakes, but it shines with clean water and great bathing quality.
How a former clay pit can develop into a beautiful bathing lake is probably the secret of nature. Nevertheless, the tranquil, beautiful Ziegeleisee in the Lübars district is considered one of the cleanest and most peaceful bathing lakes in Berlin. There is not a trace of the former factory anywhere in sight.
As an official EU bathing area, the Ziegeleisee impresses with its cleanliness and excellent water quality. However, a visit to the completely fenced-in lake is subject to a fee, as it is considered an open-air swimming pool. With wheelchair access and the well-visited Lübars lido, this lake is definitely worth a visit.
The Ziegeleisee is a brick pond, meaning that it was created from the material excavated by a brickyard. Like many lakes of this type, it was converted into a bathing lake because of the good quality of the ground water. The water level is regulated by a connecting pipe to the Hermsdorf lake.
