Gravel pit Birkwitz Pirna

A very beautiful lake, plenty of space and very suitable for families. There is a boat rental and a kiosk.

A very beautiful, large bathing lake with a pebble beach. Ample parking is available. Those who arrive early can find a shady spot for their towel, etc. Changing rooms are not available, or at least not in the immediate vicinity. The lake has a lot of algae and underwater shrubs along the shoreline. In the middle of the lake, it is very deep and nicely designed with swimming platforms and an island.

Beautiful large lake, plenty of space to relax, with a designated dog beach area. There are plenty of trash cans. At the entrance, there's a snack bar and SUP rentals. There's also ample parking. HOWEVER: There's one paved parking lot at the front and another further back in a field. So far, so good. You reach the field via a path with three rather high speed bumps made of stone and concrete. Dear visitors with low-slung or lowered cars: Do not drive behind them!!! ☝️ I unfortunately noticed too late and hit each bump extremely hard. There and back. Luckily, my car wasn't damaged. I understand the purpose of the bumpers, but these are too high! I will certainly go back to the lake, but if the front parking lot is full, I'll leave. What a shame.

Great lake and plenty of space to relax

Beautiful lake for swimming, with snack bar and sanitary facilities

Great lake for swimming with a dog beach. Clean and well-maintained with plenty of space. Shady spots are also available. Unfortunately, the gravel is a bit rough on the feet, so water shoes are definitely recommended. We had a lovely time.
