With an area of approximately 23 hectares (2 km long, 250 m wide), Lake Nehms is one of the region's smaller lakes. In early summer, the hilly Holstein landscape is a lush green, making the lake a popular destination for day trips. Due to its relatively shallow depth of 2.2 m, the water warms up comparatively quickly, a fact well known to locals who enjoy the afternoon sun at the beach in the northeast. Motorboats are not permitted on the lake, creating a peaceful and natural environment. But fishing is permitted – so be careful when bathing your dog.
