The Grosse Wentowsee is generally very shallow and therefore very murky all year round. It therefore heats up faster in summer than the surrounding clay lakes. Water quality is good, but in the reeds from the end of July there is occasionally a risk of cercariae, so dry off well after swimming.

The Cistercian convent of Zehdenick was founded around 1250 by Margraves John I and Otto III of Brandenburg and their sister Mechthild. According to legend, the impetus was a Eucharistic miracle from 1249: An innkeeper had buried a consecrated host to boost her beer sales. When she repented and the host was recovered, bloody soil was found – an event interpreted as divine. This "blood miracle" made Zehdenick a place of pilgrimage and motivated the founding of the convent southeast of the town on the Havel River.
