Changeable weather makes for perfect planning weather: organizing your hit list of lakes for days when Summer lives up to its name. On a recent trip to Gerswalde to visit Parg and Kombini, we were recommended a lake spot – Sabinensee – just a 15 minute drive from the center of town. We followed the main road out of the village for a dip. Hidden on most sides by thick reeds and greenery, the sandy entrance off the L42 makes for easy entry into the refreshing water. There’s a steeped green area to observe the lake, and a jetty for diving in on cooler days when a slow wade feels less feasible. The lake is about 400m wide, and on the partly cloudy day we visited, we swam out far enough to feel the sun on our faces before the drive home.
