Sailing Tour on Lake Bärwalder See

Lake Bärwalder See in the south of the Lusatian Lake District offers endless possibilities for active recreation by and on the water, with the motto “Sporty – Natural. Artistic”. Sailors can explore Lake Bärwalder See from Klitten harbour, tie up at the modern landing stages at Boxberg/O.L. and Uhyst and stroll along the promenades. The marina in Klitten harbour has around 90 berths on water and on land; there are plans to add a further 93 water berths in the 2016 season. The convenient slipway allows boats to be launched easily even from day moorings. The harbour has a boat rental and a sailing school. The lighthouse shows the way into the harbour and is fitted with a storm warning lamp and a webcam.
Lake Bärwalder See was created by flooding of the former Bärwalde lignite mine in the years up to 2010.
