The Faule See is located in the "Schwerin Lake District" nature reserve.
The dammed lake, which is considered weakly polytrophic, covers 50 hectares, and its shoreline is 4,052 meters long.
The Faule See is located southwest of Lake Schwerin. The shores are partly wooded and part of a public park, making it ideal for a pleasant bike ride.
Some of the near-natural shorelines are legally protected biotopes.
Schwerin Palace Park is located on the northwest shore.
To the southeast, the lake borders Schwerin Zoo.The lake's name was originally "Fuhler See." It probably comes from the word "Fula[n],"
which means "foal" (young horse). Accordingly, the name can be translated as "lake on whose shores foals are kept." This interpretation seems logical,
since various field names in this area refer to horse breeding.de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fauler_See_(Schwerin)
