Tips from the Community

Seenland Oder-Spree
May 18, 2026, Ferienpsark Scharmützelsee - ehem. Jugenderholungszentrum

The current grounds of the Ferienpark Scharmützelsee look back on an eventful history. As early as 1969, there was a tent and campsite here, before the construction of the Youth Recreation Centre (JEZ) began in 1973 – planned for up to 1,280 young people. The partial opening in 1977 took place with 320 beds in solid bungalows, in 1978 another 50 wooden bungalows were added. With its own harbour, seven gastronomic facilities and the popular Schilfhaus, the JEZ became the largest youth tourism facility in the GDR. After reunification, the centre was demolished in 1994. From 1996 onwards, the redesign into a residential and recreational park began. In 2000, the first Danish wooden houses in Scandinavian style were built – the start of the current Ferienpark Scharmützelsee. In 2003, the Marinapark with 85 residential units followed around the historic harbour. Thus, the Ferienpark today combines modern recreation with a piece of East German history – directly on the water.

The wooden bridge is partly rotten and partly has holes. You should really push your bike or ride carefully.

Very easy to navigate. Wide, paved forest road, also used by campers with cars. Plenty of spots for swimming.

Crystal-clear water. The road there is easily navigable.

The forest restaurant "Zur Quelle" appears to no longer exist! Only a dilapidated, run-down shack remains (August 13, 2025).
