Get ready to dive into crystal clear waters! The majority of bathing spots in Saxony-Anhalt are good to go for swimming and splashing. A whopping 58 out of 69 designated bathing spots in the state have been graded as "excellent," as per the announcement from the Health Ministry in Magdeburg before the inauguration of the bathing season on Thursday. That's nearly 85% of the lakes suitable for bathing between Arendsee and Zeitz receiving the top rating. The bathing season usually wraps up on September 15.
Last bathing season, a grand total of 58 out of 68 bathing spots were categorized as "excellent." According to the ministry, the Klietz lake in the Stendal district, which was previously deemed "poor" for the upcoming 2024 season, is now safe to use again. This renovation is due to a combination of measures like clearing ditches and planning for the re-naturalization of the reed belt, which have managed to evade a permanent swimming ban.
Moreover, the Pappelgrund family and nature bath in Teutschenthal (Saalekreis) is kick-starting the current season with a new operator, following its closure last season due to operational issues. The evaluation of the bathing waters took into account water quality and potential pollution sources. In-person inspections involved monitoring visibility depth and identifying coarse contaminants.
