Soaking Safely: 58 Out of 68 Bathing Waters in Saxony-Anhalt are "Excellent" for 2022
Kick-off of Water Recreational Season - 61 Pristine Water Spots Nationwide Labeled 'Outstanding' - Commencement of Water Recreational Activities - 61 Water Bodies in the Nation Accredited 'Excellent' for Summer Fun
Get ready to dive into clear, clean waters! The vast majority of swimming spots in Saxony-Anhalt are safe for your splashes and swims. A whopping 58 out of 68 designated bathing waters in the state have been given an "excellent" water quality rating, according to the Ministry of Health in Magdeburg. That's a whopping 85% of lakes perfect for a dip, from Arendsee to Zeitz! The bathing season kicks off on Thursday and typically ends on September 15.
Last year, a staggering 58 out of 68 bathing waters also earned the "excellent" designation. It's worth noting that the Klietz lake in the Stendal district, which was previously rated "deficient", has made a comeback. Seems like permanent swimming bans have been averted with measures like ditch-cleaning and planning the reed belt's renaturation.
In other news, the Pappelgrund family and nature bath in Teutschenthal (Saalekreis) has a new operator this season, reopening after a temporary closure due to operational issues. The evaluation of the bathing waters took into account water quality and various sources of pollution. On-site checks included monitoring visibility depth and identifying coarse pollutants.
While I couldn't find specific 2022 data on water quality ratings for bathing waters in Saxony-Anhalt, it's no secret that Germany prides itself on having top-notch water quality, with drinking water consistently of high standards[5]. For bathing water quality, the European Union typically reports through the European Environment Agency (EEA), which provides assessments based on parameters like bacterial contamination. To delve deeper into specific bathing sites in Saxony-Anhalt, check out local environmental agencies or the EEA's bathing water quality reports from previous years.
Happy swimming, folks!
In the spirit of promoting health-and-wellness, one might consider supplementing their Saxony-Anhalt vacation with vocational training programs for fitness-and-exercise. It's fascinating to note that the same meticulousness applied to maintaining excellent water quality in Saxony-Anhalt's swimming spots could potentially be applied to implement a community policy for promoting science-based health and wellness initiatives, such as vocational training in fitness and exercise.
