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.

Along the lake promenade, you'll find two water terraces, swinging benches, and plenty of other seating areas from which you can comfortably watch the setting sun. See: https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/schloesser-und-herrenhaeuser/reinfeld-seepromenade-am-herrenteich-252

The 3.7 km long trail leads along the partially wooded shore of the Herrenteich lake. The east and west banks are connected by a bridge at the "Fischhuser Damm"—north of this bridge begins the "Oberer Herrenteich" nature reserve. See: https://reinfeld-aktiv.de/tag/reinfeld/page/6/

A beautiful park that is fun not only in summer. Countless water birds swim on the small lake and there is also a lot to discover along the Schwartau.

Reinfeld, a state-approved health resort, is located directly on the A1 and B75 before the Hanseatic city of Lübeck. The Heilsau was dammed in the city area to form the Herrenteich (39.5 ha). The hiking trail around it is 3.7 km long (walking time approx. 1 hour).

The 5th stage of the "Stormarnweg" hiking trail also leads along here. All information about the Stormarnweg can be found at the following link: www.wildganz.com/fernwanderweg/stormarnweg (as of July 26, 2024).

Nice walk around the pond! With lots of cozy spots.
