Due to the white gravel beach, locals jokingly call it the "Rimini of East Frisia". The best water quality is also why the Tannenhausen bathing lake is so popular with holidaymakers and locals alike. Directly on the lake, there is a holiday home area with high-quality houses in the typical East Frisian style. You can book the accommodations through us. At the Tannenhausen bathing lake, there is an area specially designed for dogs (fenced and accessible via its own door), where owners can now relax together with their four-legged friends. The nationwide TV magazine TV Hören und Sehen rated Germany's most beautiful bathing lakes in one of its 2009 issues. The Tannenhausen bathing lake is also among the 50 best bathing lakes. This also confirmed that the Aurich district of Tannenhausen has the best bathing lake in East Frisia. Source: https://www.aurich-tourismus.de/freizeit-und-shopping/erholungsgebiet-tannenhausen
