The deepest point of the Windebyer Noor[2], at 13.6 metres, is in the north of the lake near the Eckernförde district of Carlshöhe; in the middle, the lake is eleven metres deep. The water of the Windebyer Noor is slightly saline (in different places between over one and a good two PSU[3]). Bulges of the Windebyer Noor are called Schnaaper Bucht (Snap Bugt), Norderhake (Nørrehage), Süderhake (Sønderhage), Südbucht (Sydbugt)[4] and Kochendorfer Bucht.[5] The Norderhake was the connecting arm of the Windebyer Noor to the Eckernförde city harbour.

The Windebyer Noor (obsolete: Eckernförder Noor, Schna(a)per Noor and Goos-Noor; Danish: Vindeby Nor, Low German: Winnebyer Noor, Winneby-Noor) is a 389 hectare inland lake in Schleswig-Holstein. It is located on the western edge of the town of Eckernförde, to whose municipal area it belongs. To the south and west, the eponymous municipality of Windeby borders the shore of the lake. Former residents of the lake were the municipality of Borby until its incorporation in 1934 (Borby exclave Schnaap) and the municipality of Gammelby until 1973 (Grasholz).
