Arendsee is a natural lake in the Altmark region in the north of Saxony-Anhalt and the largest natural lake in the state. It was formed by a collapse sinkhole, which is why its shape is remarkably circular, and it is considered comparatively deep. On its shores lies the spa town of Arendsee, surrounded by forests and open countryside. Swimming, sailing, and a scenic walking path around the lake make it a peaceful destination away from the major tourist routes.
