Bötzsee Lido — Local Recreation in the Eastern Berlin Commuter Belt
The Bötzsee lido is located in the twin municipality of Petershagen/Eggersdorf, about 30 km east of Berlin in the Märkisch-Oderland district. The Bötzsee is a small, clear lake in the ice-age shaped hilly landscape of Brandenburg. The lido, with its sandy beach, sunbathing lawn, swimming facilities, and boat rentals, has been one of the region's most popular summer destinations for decades.
Lakeside Festival on Friday, July 3, 2026
The 2026 Lakeside Festival takes place on Friday, July 3, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. It's a classic summer festival with family activities: games for children, hands-on events, swimming in the lake, boat trips, food, and drinks. The format is accessible and integrated into the lido's seasonal schedule.
'Bötz in love' Party on Saturday, July 4
Immediately following on Saturday, July 4, 2026, is the 'Bötz in love' party — an additional summer evening by the lake, establishing the tradition of the Bötz weekend. It is part of a series of seasonal highlights: June 5, 2026 Bötzsee Rave (4:00 PM–10:00 PM) and June 20, 2026 Rock am See (lido closes earlier at 1:00 PM for setup).
