クネーセの湖・トップ20

The Schaalsee is nestled within the biosphere reserve of the same name and, at over 70 meters deep, is considered Northern Germany's deepest clearwater lake. Those who wish to swim here should only do so at designated areas—for example, in Dargow, Lassahn, Seedorf, or at the Zarrentin lido. The water quality is excellent, perfect for a refreshing dip on the go. The protected natural environment surrounding the lake is rich in species and tranquil—ideal for those who appreciate peace, clean air, and clear water. The beer and coffee garden is a pleasant place to relax.

This bridge offers a beautiful view of two lakes: the Schaalsee on one side and the Kirchensee on the other. It is part of the approximately 4 km circular trail around the Kirchensee.

Pure nature! Idyllically located. We passed the lake on our hike to Lake Salem.

A small but nice bathing area with toilets and changing facilities.

The Groß Zecher estate is an ideal starting point for exploring the region around the Schaalsee. You can stay overnight and eat here. For overnight guests there is a private bathing jetty with direct access to the water. The field adventure trail also starts here...

A nice place, unfortunately the cafe was closed

Best all-round view over Kirchensee and Schaalsee

The Groß Zecher estate with its historic buildings is beautifully located between Küchensee and Schaalsee. Since 1691 it has been owned by the von Witzendorff patrician family from Lüneburg. The magnificent manor house was built in the classicist style. Today you can not only dine well at the estate, but also spend the night and of course enjoy the peace and quiet.
