    Hiking

    The Kreidesee (Chalk Lake) in Lüneburg (also called Kreidebergsee) is a former gypsum and limestone quarry. It has developed into a popular recreational area north of the city center, known for its depth of up to 30 meters, impressive white limestone cliffs, and valuable salt-tolerant flora. However, swimming is prohibited for safety reasons. The Kreidesee is ideal for walks and geology enthusiasts.

    The lake originated from a former gypsum and limestone quarry.

    It is located north of Lüneburg's city center, in the Kreideberg district.

    The Kreidebergsee was created by gypsum mining and was converted into a 14.5-hectare recreational area in the 1980s. Due to the rare salt flora, the lake is ecologically very valuable and lets you really "breathe".
