Mittelburger Seen Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

Often enough I drove carelessly past this gem to get to the highway. Today I visited the small nature reserve once. You can not get to the lakes, but the surrounding nature is beautiful too.

Swimming Spot at Achternsee

Highlight • Lake

This bathing area on the Achternsee is very cozy and secluded. A sunbathing lawn, which is beautifully overgrown in summer, and crystal-clear water are very inviting.

A short reed-free section, a small jetty, a bathing ladder - what more does it need to be able to climb into a beautiful, crystal-clear lake? Minimalistic, but that's why it's almost perfect. It should only be a few degrees higher, so the bathing season is limited to a few weeks a year.

Kleiner Pönitzer See

Highlight • Lake

The Kleiner Pönitzer See always keeps a slight distance from the roads and paths, but at this point the shore can be reached directly. The narrow isthmus that stretches on the other side is remarkable. Behind it follows the Großer Pönitzer See.

Great Pönitzer Lake

Highlight • Lake

Far away from the tourist hustle and bustle of the Baltic Sea, there is nature here and also a place to swim. The path along the lake is very easy to cycle on, even if it is quite narrow for oncoming cyclists. So please be careful around the blind bends.

View of Großer Pönitzer See

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is located in Holstein Switzerland, surrounded by a hilly moraine landscape. To the north lies the Little Pönitzer Lake, into which it drains via a ditch.

The lake is circular in shape with a bay to the north and is approximately 1,400 meters long and 1,100 meters wide. It covers approximately 108 hectares and has a maximum depth of 19.2 meters, which it reaches in its center. The lake is fed by relatively minor tributaries.

Garkau Estate lies on its southwestern shore.
