ヴァーケンドルフIの湖・トップ20

The Herrenteich Pond is located in the heart of the carp town of Reinfeld. It was artificially created in the 12th century by Cistercian monks as a reservoir for the Heilsau River for fish farming. Carp are still bred here today. A four-kilometer circular trail around the Lower Herrenteich invites you to discover this special ecosystem. 16 stations along the adventure trail offer fun and a nature experience in one, sharpening your awareness of the special features of this natural area. In summer, you can enjoy the cool water at the lido. See: https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/naturerlebnis/herrenteich-reinfeld-5

The Herrenteich in Reinfeld is a popular tourist destination. The approximately 55-hectare body of water is divided into the upper and lower Herrenteich. The upper Herrenteich remains a recognized nature reserve. The lower Herrenteich is home to, among other things, a hiking trail and an outdoor pool in the summer. Due to melting snow, the Herrenteich flooded in early March 2010. A temporary dam erected at the time due to construction work threatened to no longer hold the water masses. A breach of the dam would have flooded the entire hinterland. The Hamburg/Lübeck railway embankment would also have been affected.

The further you get from Bad Segeberg, the quieter and more secluded the path becomes – at least in winter. After rain or during thaws, it can sometimes be very muddy.

On hot days, the shady paths are a welcome change 😉...

The Great Segeberg Lake stretches between the town centre of Bad Segeberg and Klein Rönnau. You can cycle, hike, swim in many places and go boating here. The Great Segeberg Lake is just an eight-minute walk from the town centre of Segeberg and is around 1.7 km² in size. The Great Segeberg Lake is divided into two halves by the Spitzenort peninsula. The only real island in the Great Segeberg Lake is the bird island in the northern part of the lake. You can swim in the Great Segeberg Lake at unguarded, free bathing areas such as the floating jetty on the Segeberg spa promenade and at the bathing area at the KlüthseeCamp in Klein Rönnau. There is a bird sanctuary between Stipsdorf and Klein Rönnau, so there are no bathing areas in this area. In addition to the unguarded bathing areas, there is a lido in Bad Segeberg and an outdoor pool in Klein Rönnau. The water quality in the Great Segeberg Lake is excellent, so you can swim here without any worries. In Bad Segeberg there is a rowing club, a sailing club, a boating club and a boat rental for all adventurous water sports enthusiasts. There are other boating clubs in Klein Rönnau and Stipsdorf. On the south bank of the lake there is also an open-air forest grandstand and a play area. In addition to a youth hostel and numerous hotels around the lake, there is a campsite in Klein Rönnau and one in Bad Segeberg. The lake promenade in Bad Segeberg invites you to take a walk along the lake, tired hikers and cyclists can rest on the sun loungers on the sun deck directly on the promenade. If you want to hike or cycle a little further, there are numerous cycle paths in the area. The eight-kilometer circular path around the lake with a detour to the Kalkberg, a wonderful view from the Moosberg and the lake promenade as the destination and starting point is particularly popular. On average, a hike takes 90 minutes. You can of course go much faster by bike, but please watch out for hikers, the paths are sometimes narrow, but easy to ride. https://www.hamburg-tourism.de/sehen-erleben/gruenes-hamburg/parks-gruenanlagen/grosser-segeberger-see-1/
