The water touring rest stop in Kummerow is located directly on the Spree between Lake Schwielochsee and Beeskow. Tent camping and facilities for spending time by the water give a trip to Kummerow a clear focus. You can also take access by car into account when planning your trip.

Tent camping and facilities by the water

The rest stop has sanitary facilities with running water for tent campers. Other amenities include seating, a fire pit, beach volleyball, a swimming area and a floating pier. This brings together several different things in one place: somewhere to camp, an area for swimming and other facilities for spending time there. The connection with the water is therefore more than just a general theme of the trip; it is evident in the rest stop’s location and amenities.

When making your choice, you can weigh the facilities according to how important they are to your stay. If you plan to travel with a tent, factor in the camping facilities and sanitary amenities. If the water is more of a priority, the swimming area and floating pier are useful points of reference. Beach volleyball, seating and the fire pit round out the facilities without requiring you to follow a set daily schedule. This lets you consider the rest stop in light of different interests, rather than viewing it only as a camping option or only as a swimming destination.
