Bergwitz Lake (Kemberg)

Bergwitz Lake (Bergwitzsee) near Kemberg is described as a clear-water inland lake set up for wind and water sports alongside broader leisure use. The lake is characterized by flat conditions for planing rides and foiling, with very deep water in the center (up to about 35–38 meters reported) and easy access from the lakeside launch area near the resort/camping area. Wind is commonly described as frontal/gradient-driven, with the best conditions most often associated with spring and autumn and especially SW winds. Multiple directions can work, but W/SW are emphasized as favorable, and West wind is reported as particularly stable thanks to a longer fetch. In summer, thermal influence is reported roughly from late morning into the afternoon (about 11:00–17:00), with W/NW/SW directions among those noted. For windsurfing, the spot is highlighted as beginner-friendly and suited to freeride, freestyle, and freeride-to-foil styles in appropriate conditions. For wingfoiling, increasing popularity is attributed to the lake’s depth, enabling foil clearance close to shore; a minimum depth guideline is provided as roughly 1.5 meters beyond the immediate shore. Safety-wise, the main concerns are gustiness near shore (especially around vegetation) and the confined mix of water users (swimmers/divers) near the beach. Buoys mark protected swimming areas, and water sports are generally kept away from these zones; kitesurfing is specifically noted as generally restricted/prohibited. Seasonal lifeguard presence and limited rescue availability are reported, so it’s important to plan launches and practice within the designated riding area.
