    This beautiful, unique freshwater biotope lies in the heart of the Amrum dunes. It was created by the natural growth of a dune embankment. This was then artificially extended, gradually filling it with rainwater and rising groundwater. The lake and its surrounding area are an important resting and breeding ground for countless water birds.

      The freshwater lake is located between Knipsand and the dunes near the upper walkway in Wittdün. A boardwalk leads from the end of the walkway to the lake. Information boards provide information about the flora and fauna and there are several places to sit that invite you to observe or eat. Especially in early spring you can see resting seabirds and shore birds here.
