Radewege (Beetzsee)

Radewege (Beetzsee) is a low-profile, local windsurf spot on the shallow, sandy edge of Beetzsee near Brandenburg an der Havel. It’s specifically characterized by a standing-water zone near the launch, which makes it well suited for beginners practicing freeride and freestyle basics, especially with West wind. Access is straightforward for day sessions: free parking is available about 50 meters from the water, and the launch is from a small sandy beach with a shallow entry and an easy landing/entry point. The bottom transitions quickly from standing water into deeper water, so staying mindful of how far the standing area extends is important—especially during starts and low-speed maneuvers. Wind is generally most favorable from the West through North-West, with typical sessions described around moderate-to-good wind strength. Gustiness and wind shadowing can occur close to shore because reeds, trees, and nearby structures can disrupt the airflow near the launch, so riders often benefit from choosing the cleanest launch wind pocket. Safety-wise, kitesurfing is generally prohibited on Beetzsee under local rules tied to its waterway classification. Even for windsurfing, riders should keep clear of shipping lanes and any regatta course markers further out on the lake, and watch out for reeds and shallow-water hazards around the entry zone.
