About

Experience this spot in Geyer. Popular location for swimming and paddling, cycling, boating and canoeing. Geyer is a town in the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) of Saxony, Germany. The area is known for its picturesque landscape of rolling hills, deep valleys, dense forests, and pristine rivers. The Ore Mountains are famous for their rich mineral deposits, including silver, cobalt, uranium, and tin. As a result, the region has a long history of mining, which is still evident in many of the local towns and villages. Some of the highlights of the area include the beautiful Ore Mountains Trail, which winds its way through the hills and valleys, as well as the historic mining town of Annaberg-Buchholz, which has a charming old town and many interesting museums and galleries. Other popular activities in the area include hiking, cycling, skiing, and wildlife watching.

Frequently asked questions

Is this lake safe for swimming?

Check the Conditions tab for surface state and wind conditions. Review the Quality tab if this is a designated bathing water. Always read recent community reports for local advice.

How cold is the water?

Check the Temperature tab for the current estimate and 7-day trend. Lakes hold heat longer than rivers but can develop a thermocline. The water below the surface can be dramatically colder.

What should I bring?

A tow float for visibility (especially important where boats operate), warm layers for after, and consider a wetsuit in colder months. Check for designated swimming areas.
