About Zeischaer See
The Zeischaer Kiessee is a large gravel-pit lake on the eastern edge of Bad Liebenwerda in southern Brandenburg, between the villages of Dobra and Zeischa beside the B101, inside the Niederlausitzer Heidelandschaft nature park. Gravel has been dug here since 1888 and extraction still goes on in the main pit, which covers about 80 hectares and stays under mining law. Bathing is concentrated in the Waldbad Zeischa, a lake bath of about three hectares in a forest-fringed bay in the south-east of the pit, opened as a local recreation area in 1970. Brandenburg's tourism board describes a wide, lifeguarded beach that keeps a spot for FKK bathers; neither the board nor the operator's listings say where on the beach this is, so ask at the entrance. The water is an EU-designated bathing water and is praised for its quality. On site there are volleyball courts, table tennis, boat hire at the jetty, the Zum Waldbad restaurant, a campsite of about 140 pitches and rental bungalows. Angling is limited to marked zones, and the bath and the rest of the pit are run by different operators, so stay within the bathing area.
Getting there
The Waldbad lies on the B101 on the east side of Bad Liebenwerda (address: Waldbad, 04924 Zeischa) and is signposted from the road. Wikipedia mentions a guarded car park at the site; parking and entry prices were not published on the tourism board listing checked in October 2026. No public transport details were found; Bad Liebenwerda town centre is a short drive or bike ride away. The beach is reached on level ground from the car park. The bath is open daily from 15 May to 15 September, 10:00 to 19:00.
