Gazing across the shimmering expanse of Baggersee, can you envision its past life as a gravel pit? Today, this former industrial site has transformed into a beloved recreational haven for the people of Strasbourg. Lake Baggersee, a mere 15 minutes from Strasbourg’s bustling center, beckons visitors with its sandy shores and refreshing waters. This easily accessible oasis, reachable by tram, car, or a scenic bike ride, offers a welcome escape from city life. Baggersee boasts a spacious sandy beach, perfect for sunbathing and building sandcastles. The lake’s sandy bottom and clear water create an inviting environment for swimming. A designated swimming area, with lifeguards on duty during July and August, provides a safe space for families and children. More adventurous swimmers can venture beyond the marked zone, but at their own risk. Children will delight in the large playgrounds, designed for various age groups. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a friendly game of beach volleyball on the available courts. The shaded areas near the playground offer respite from the sun and even feature ping-pong tables. A cafe opens at noon, providing refreshments and snacks. Restrooms, changing rooms, and showers are available for visitors’ convenience. Keep in mind, you might encounter squat toilets! While barbequing is sometimes prohibited, the lake’s proximity to the Neuhof forest offers plenty of walking trails to explore. And for those seeking retail therapy, a large shopping mall is conveniently located nearby. Lake Baggersee truly embodies the spirit of summer, offering a place for relaxation, recreation, and community.
