    The Balksee is a Geestrandsee with wide silting zones and a flat moor in the west and a high moor in the northeast. Topographically, the Balksee is a meadow below the water table, corresponding to the Steinhuder Meer. Because the entire area around the lake is very impassable, it is largely beyond the direct local influence of humans.

    Nice view over the Balksee, unfortunately there is no bike or hiking trail around the lake.

    From here you have a beautiful view of the lake.
