Lottbeker Stausee

Pretty playground in the shade, wunderbübsch view. Some also bathed

A nice rest area overlooking the lake.

The fish-rich lake is clearly visible from the rest area. At a slightly longer rest you can see some birds, with luck a kingfisher.

The Lottebecker reservoir is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists 🚴♀️, as it offers so many opportunities.

With a bit of luck you can see kingfishers here

The Lottbek is a heavily meandering and near-natural stream in the Stormarn district and in Hamburg. It flows into the Bredenbek, which, as the left tributary of the Alster, together with the Rodenbek and other smaller streams, forms the meltwater river system in the Rodenbeker Quellental, which was formed in the Vistula Ice Age. Like most other rivers in the Quellental, the Lottbek also flows in an east-west direction to the Alster.

Source rivers of the Lottbek are the Moorbek and the Deepenreiengraben. The Lottbek forms a small reservoir in the upper reaches. Lottbek and Moorbek mark the state border between Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein for several kilometers.

Due to flooding between 2005 and 2009, a diversion of the Lottbek stream bed in the Lottbek district of Ammersbek was examined and discussed with Hamburg. After 2009, plans to relocate the creek bed were not pursued any further.

The Lottbek is eponymous for the Lottbek district of the municipality of Ammersbek at the Hoisbüttel underground station and several streets and paths in this district and in Hamburg-Ohlstedt. From the nature reserve Heidkupplungmoor and the surrounding area downstream, the creek is accompanied by hiking trails that run continuously close to the creek except in the Hamburger Straße area in Lottbek.

When we drove past the reservoir on 21.09.2019, very little water was available! Where are all the fish?

Coming from the northeast on the higher forest path, this reservoir looked a bit like a mountain lake somewhere in the Alps.

On the beautiful square you can strengthen and relax.

Currently (September 2022) completely dried up.
