Lake Lankow is about 2.3 kilometers long and 750 meters wide. It is divided by a narrowing in the middle into a broad, highly articulated south basin and a narrow, oblong north basin. The height of the lake level is 30.9 m above sea level. NHN. In the lake is the approximately 2.5-hectare island Fischwerder. The 9.5 meter maximum depth is in the northern basin.
The originally drainage-free lake drains over the artificial Wetingsbeker Grenzgraben to the Mechower See and has a tributary from the Grammsee.
Lankow Lake is a meso-eutrophic body of water with steep slopes in a basal moraine area of the Pomeranian Maximum Advance of the Weichsel Ice Age. The elongated shape and depth of the northeast basin are features of a former meltwater channel. The southern part, however, lies in a depression, which formed after defrosting of dead ice.
In the catchment area of the lake, forest areas were extensively cleared in the 15th and 16th centuries, which were then used for agricultural purposes.
The lake was located between 1949 and 1989 in the border region of the GDR and was only accessible to the border troops of the GDR. On the eastern bank of 1209 was the first-mentioned place Lankow, which was cleared after compulsory removals and Leerzug 1976. From 1976 to 1990, the waters of border security facilities were criss-crossed.
The southern basin of the lake was placed on the Mecklenburg side on 15 May 1990, including adjoining shore areas. Southwest of the lake shore in 1994 by the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the nature reserve Lankower lakeshore, Grammsee and surrounding area.
The Lankow lake is managed by a professional fisherman and may be fished and fished in the northern part, since this part is outside the nature reserve.
