description

The approximately circular lake has a diameter of about 3.2 kilometers, the area is 579  hectares . The greatest depth is around 13 meters. It was created in the Ice Age and is located in a hollow in Berlin's glacial valley .

The lake gets its inflow from the Storkower Canal in the northeast and in the southeast from the Mühlenfließ , which connects the Groß Schauener chain of lakes with the Wolziger See. Its outflow leads in the southwest through the canal-like 1.35 km long Blossiner Fließ to the Langen See and from there over the Dahme to the Spree .

The bank is overgrown with reeds over long stretches. The bottom consists mainly of sand, but it is also interspersed with stones. It has several elevations and sharply sloping sharp edges. A reed island in the southern part of the lake forms a prominent part of the lake. In front of this island, the sharp edge drops steeply from around 1 meter to 8 meters.

There are five public harbors on Lake Wolziger:

• Fishing port on the west bank in Blossin, draft 2 meters
• Marina of the youth education center on the west bank in Blossin, draft 2 meters
• Sports boat harbor of the Blossin youth education center on the west bank, draft 1.8 meters
• Boathouse Erkner on the north bank in Wolzig, draft 1.5 meters
• Natural harbor on the south bank in Kolberg, draft 1.4 meters
