The Silver Lake recreation area lies around two kilometres south of Wehdel. Its designated bathing area makes the lake a specific destination for an outing by the water; other leisure activities complement the swimming facilities. When planning, it is therefore worth considering not only whether you want to swim, but also which other activities matter to you during your visit.
Swimming, sports and games at Silver Lake
The bathing area is complemented by beach volleyball, a football pitch, a playground and mini golf. Beach volleyball and the football pitch offer ball games, while the playground and mini golf add other options for play. The bathing area can therefore shape your outing, while other facilities may take centre stage if you are interested in sports or games. Mini golf is available depending on the time. If you are planning to play, please check before your visit whether it will be available on your chosen date.
A break and the surrounding landscape
The recreation area also has benches for resting and camping facilities. If you would like to plan a quiet break between activities, you can make use of the benches. Camping facilities are also part of Silver Lake’s amenities. The lake is located in the Silbersee and Laaschmoor landscape conservation area. Swimming and relaxing by the lake therefore take place in a nature-oriented setting. When choosing an outing, you can consider both the specific activities on offer and the location within this protected landscape.
