Within the lakes of East Holstein, the Great Segeberger See is characterized by a special history.
After a salt dome with gypsum or anhydrite rock rose to the surface due to salt tectonics, groundwater released after the thawing of the glacial permafrost could gradually dissolve rock salt and gypsum in the subsoil and leach out cavities in the subsoil (subrosion). The overlying rock and sediment layers sagged, leaving depressions that filled with water. In the process, several lake basins were formed, which were initially covered by a contiguous body of water. After a natural lowering of the lake level, possibly due to a sinkhole event at a later time, the original body of water divided into the Großer Segeberger See and the significantly smaller Klüthsee to the northeast.
The Große Segeberger See is part of the gypsum karst landscape of Bad Segeberg and is therefore related to the Kalkberg and its cave

The eight-kilometer circular walk around the lake begins at the beginning of the lake promenade at the Jahn Memorial. From this spot, you not only have a magnificent view of the beautifully situated Great Segeberg Lake, but also of the 89-meter-high, wooded Kagelsberg, the 81-meter-high Moosberg, and the houses of Stipsdorf. The lake covers an area of 178 hectares, is 2.6 kilometers long, and measures twelve meters at its deepest point. The city of Bad Segeberg owns it but has leased it to the Segeberg Sports Fishing Association. Seven clubs practice water sports on the water. Motorboats, however, are not permitted on the lake.
