Hiking

Lake Selent, located near the town of Selent in the Plön district, has an average depth of 14 meters and lies at an elevation of 37 meters above sea level. The lake drains into the Baltic Sea via the Hohenfelder Mühlenau, a 10-kilometer-long tributary, to the north, and the Salzau, to the northwest. The northern part of Lake Selent and the surrounding area is a nature reserve.

Hiking

The formation of Lake Selent dates back to the Weichselian glaciation, which formed a basin and simultaneously created terminal moraine ridges up to 132 m high in the east and up to 90 m high in the south. From a geological perspective, this still body of water is a so-called tongue-basin lake.

Hiking

The lake is also known for its abundance of fish. Eels, perch, pike, and large and small whitefish, as well as roach in large numbers, are found there. During the Second World War, Lake Selent, due to its long, compact body of water, was used as a seaplane base. Its landing point was in Bellin, on the sandy beach there. Its personnel were housed at Bellin Air Base. After the war, the base served as a large refugee camp for refugees from Pomerania, Danzig, and East Prussia for about 12 years.
