What this layer shows

Officially identified bathing waters under the EU Bathing Water Directive 2006/7/EC, with the classification of the last bathing season. The classification rests on the microbiological assessment of the previous four years and says nothing about conditions on any single day; the notice board at the site does that.

Merestone asks this service live for the area on screen. Nothing is copied or stored beyond a short cache.

This layer is drawn from the European Environment Agency's annual return of what Germany reports, not from a live service of the national body itself. A boundary changed this year appears here when the next return is published.

In these presets

Water and flooding

The water-law side of a site: drinking-water and medicinal-spring protection areas with their zones, designated flood plains and flood hazard maps, Saxony’s flood-generation areas, and bathing waters. Flood plains designated under § 76 WHG are subject to the construction safeguards in § 78 WHG, including statutory exceptions and possible approvals by the competent authority. The map does not replace the authority’s assessment of a specific proposal.
