Discover Blankensee

Blankensee brings together different sides of a holiday destination: a village green settlement mentioned in historical records, a 15th-century fieldstone church, and opportunities to spend time by the water or cycling. The Wanzkaer See is also a glacially formed channel lake. If you are weighing up village history, nature and outdoor activities, these different aspects may influence your choice of holiday destination.

Village history and the fieldstone church

Blankensee village church was built in the 15th century. It is made of fieldstones and has a rounded apse. The material and form give the church a distinct architectural character: the fieldstones identify the building material, while the apse is a striking feature of the building. If you are interested in historic village architecture, the church offers a tangible point of interest for this part of your trip.

The history of the settlement is also part of the village’s identity. Blankensee is a village green settlement and was first mentioned in 1290; in that context, it was named in connection with the monastery in Wanzka. This mention links the village’s name to a specific historical reference. Together with the church, it offers a way to explore Blankensee that goes beyond nature and activities: you can also consider the trip from the perspective of village history.

Lake, bathing area and volleyball court

Wanzkaer See is a glacial channel lake formed during the Ice Age. Its name connects its formation with a particular type of lake. Its water surface covers 2.03 km². Alongside its historical points of interest, this gives you a distinct landscape feature to consider when deciding whether to visit Blankensee.

There is a volleyball court at the Blankensee bathing area. This identifies a bathing area and a sports court as two specific features of your stay. When planning your trip, you can consider whether you are more interested in spending time by the water, playing volleyball, or both. The bathing area and court are next to each other, so this detail goes beyond a simple description of the landscape.

Cycling routes and getting there

When choosing a holiday destination, you can weigh this feature alongside the historical and landscape-related aspects.
