Hiking
The chalk lake in the Warstade district is the legacy of 117 years of cement production. Chalk was mined here from 1862 to 1976 and processed in a cement factory directly on what is now the lake. After the end of mining, the pit filled with groundwater. The lake, originally 130 meters deep, was flattened to 60 meters by backfilling rubble and rubble from the original chalk factory, but is still the third deepest body of water in northern Germany and covers around 33 hectares.
