The Randauer Baggerloch is a lake west of Randau in the area of the city of Magdeburg .
The Randauer Baggerloch is located in the middle of the Elbe meadows on the right bank of the Elbe . The Elbe dike runs a little east of the lake, so that when the Elbe floods, the Randauer Baggerloch and its surroundings are also affected by the flood. To the west of the lake there is a dirt road through which the Westerhüsen ferry can be reached. A dirt road runs east to Randau.
The lake was created by gravel mining , which was stopped in the middle of the 20th century. Although the lake has no designated bathing area or other management, it is used as a bathing lake. The largest length of the lake is from northwest to southeast about 380 meters, the width of the lake in east-west direction is about 150 meters at the widest point. There is a small island in the middle of the lake. The Randauer Baggerloch is lined with trees. There is a small wooded area around the south bank.
The lake is also the habitat of protected animal and plant species. The occurrence of the moor frog was observed here.
