Bismark (Altmark) - all beaches

Conveniently situated, offering opportunities for swimming, cycling, and hiking.

Great swimming spot! Crystal clear water and not crowded at all. Very close to Plau am See ports, dining, and shopping.

This place is improving over time. It is comfortable and well-organized. The staff is extremely friendly! The water may not be the clearest, but it's still alright. I only gave it 3 stars because when we went with our family, there was nothing at the restaurant for kids. Not even ice cream. They only offered spaghetti with oil, which was disappointing. Furthermore, it is quite expensive, so considering the price of the services and entrance, they should include more appealing options on the menu for the little ones.

We took a trip to Ketzin for a short getaway and had a wonderful time. It was exactly what we were looking for in terms of a peaceful and enjoyable tourist experience. We had a great time boating on the Havel, indulging in a delicious meal at a lovely restaurant in the evening, and taking a leisurely stroll along the Havel promenade. Ketzin is the perfect destination for those who prefer a more intimate and authentic tourism experience, rather than the crowded and commercialized options. I am already looking forward to returning in the future. 🥰

It's disheartening to see how dirty it was. The beach was littered with garbage in the sand, and unfortunately, the wind carried in some green-blue algae (cyanobacteria), making it look awful. I'm not sure if it's just due to the heat and warm weather or if the lake is actually contaminated. It's really sad for such a beautiful place.

The beach is lovely, and the snack bar next to the campsite, which also features a delightful Italian restaurant, serves incredibly tasty Italian food. However, I can't stop thinking about the groundskeeper at the campsite. He's so cute 😂
