The Mechower See is a eutrophic (originally mesotrophic) glacial channel lake within the Schaalsee Biosphere Reserve. It is located east of the eponymous municipality of Mechow in the Schleswig-Holstein district of Herzogtum Lauenburg, directly on the state border with Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (Northwest Mecklenburg district).

Pretty good view of the lake. A bit overgrown in summer though.
