    The recreational area Große Aue is one of the most important local recreation areas in the Lübbecker Land and the surrounding area. Two larger lakes are integrated into it, one is used as a bathing lake by many people in summer, the other serves nature as a refuge for rare animal and plant species. The bathing lake is also known under the name Kleihügelsee.
    In the valley of the Great Aue between the districts of Vehlage and Fabbenstedt, embedded in old forests, there is a charming lake and recreational landscape, the expansion of which began in 1979. On the one hand there is the Auesee, which was created between 1979 and 1981. As a landscape lake with a water surface of 8.2 hectares, it offers, together with the adjacent area (around 27 hectares), sufficient habitat for protected plant and animal species. Part of the area is designated as a nature reserve.
    In the years that followed, a recreational and swimming lake was created on the west side of the Große Aue. With its characteristic bank shape, the lake at Kleihügel or Kleihügelsee (water area 5.6 hectares) blends in perfectly with the landscape. Shallow water areas and immediately adjacent marshland and wet meadow areas as well as the marsh islands in the lake also provide habitat for many plant species. The beach also offers enough space for sports and leisure activities.
    Here I always like to be out and about with the camera.
