About this property

Kolumbussee Campsite is an established woodland campsite in Plötzky, a district of Schönebeck, and together with the directly adjacent Kolumbussee forms an exceptionally nature-oriented leisure and recreation location. The site differs from the neighboring Plötzky Adventure Park, which is strongly characterized by recreational facilities and can also be visited and used by day visitors to Kolumbussee Campsite.

Characteristic features include the old pine and mixed woodland, generously landscaped site areas, natural shaded locations, and its integration into a historic quarry and lake landscape. Around 260 pitches are available for permanent campers, as well as approximately 30 pitches for short-term and holiday guests. Long-term, extended-stay, and short-term camping are offered, along with pitches for caravans, motorhomes, and tents. The site is generally also designed for use outside the traditional summer season. Year-round use is possible for permanent campers.

The central service building of the campsite is included in the sale. It forms the organizational and infrastructural center of the operation and includes sanitary facilities for camping guests, an office for the site manager, a communal kitchen, and a separate laundry room. This efficiently combines essential operational, service, and community functions in one building. The communal kitchen expands the offering particularly for tent campers, cycle tourists, and tourists staying for longer periods, while the laundry room meets the needs of both permanent campers and holiday guests. The site manager’s office enables direct on-site management of the camping operation and provides space for administrative, monitoring, and organizational tasks.

The Kolumbussee is the namesake and scenic focal point of the site. The body of water was created after local quartzite extraction ceased in the early 1930s and the former quarry filled with water. The lake covers approximately 11,000 m² and reaches a depth of around 30 meters. A small beach and shore area provides direct access to the water. Together with the tall trees, natural shoreline areas, and surrounding forest paths, this creates a pronounced recreational quality that particularly appeals to campers seeking peace and quiet, nature-oriented couples, families, hikers, and cycle tourists.

Plötzky is now known as the center of the Schönebeck Elbaue local recreation area. The village is surrounded by extensive forest areas and numerous former quarry lakes in the immediate surroundings. A well-developed network of cycle paths connects Plötzky with Pretzien and Ranies. In addition, a planet trail as well as numerous other hiking and recreational paths invite visitors to discover the attractive landscape. Informative display boards provide interesting facts about nature, history and the region. The combination of forest, water and easily accessible excursion destinations offers diverse opportunities for hiking, cycling, swimming, observing nature and relaxing.

The campsite belongs to the municipal area of Schönebeck (Elbe), a traditional salt town directly on the Elbe. The town combines a historic old town, established local amenities and a diverse range of leisure and cultural activities. The landmark on the banks of the Elbe is the 16-metre-high “Salt Flower”, whose design commemorates the history of salt extraction and salt trading as well as former shipping on the Elbe. The historic market, the Salt Tower, former salt warehouses and the landing stage are located nearby.

The Schönebeck district of Bad Salzelmen has particular tourist importance. Germany’s first brine spa was opened there in 1802. The historic spa park with its impressive graduation works, the brine spa, the Lindenbad, the Salzland Museum and other health, wellness and cultural offerings complement the campsite’s nature-oriented character with an attractive bad-weather and year-round offering. Bad Salzelmen can look back on more than 800 years of salt extraction and is still a state-recognized spa town today.

The Elbe also significantly expands the site’s tourism potential. The largely natural river course with floodplain forests, oxbow lakes, flood channels and sandbanks offers opportunities for cycling, hiking, water touring and observing waterfowl and Elbe beavers. The nationally renowned Elbe Cycle Route provides access to Schönebeck and the districts east of the Elbe. From Plötzky, round trips can be taken via Pretzien, Ranies, the Pretzien Weir and the Schönebeck Elbe floodplains. The historic Pretzien Weir is also an important technical monument and remains part of the flood protection system for Schönebeck and Magdeburg.

The site layout combines two economically interesting usage segments. The high number of permanent pitches provides a basis for recurring and comparatively predictable income as well as a long-term commitment of users to the site. The tourist segment also offers the opportunity to benefit from the growing motorhome, cycling and nature tourism along the Elbe. The quiet site layout with comparatively generous spacing supports a positioning focused not on maximum density, but on experiencing nature, recreation and a personal atmosphere.

The campsite thus offers a rare combination of an established permanent-camping operation, an existing tourist segment, a central service building, direct access to the lake, a pronounced woodland setting and proximity to the tourist attractions of the city of Schönebeck. Development opportunities exist in particular in the careful modernization of the central building and technical infrastructure, the qualitative enhancement of the tourist pitches, digital booking and administrative processes, as well as stronger targeting of motorhome users, cycle tourists and nature-oriented short-break visitors. A future operator will have the opportunity to preserve the authentic character of the site while gradually further developing the operation.
