キーシーの湖・トップ7

The Göttingen Kiessee is a 15-hectare lake on the southwestern outskirts of the city. Formed by gravel mining, it has become one of Göttingen's most important recreational areas. The approximately 2.5-kilometer-long lakeside path is popular with joggers, walkers, and anglers throughout the year. The lake is only one to two meters deep and, as a result, is threatened by algal blooms and accelerated silting. To improve the freshwater supply, an inlet was built in 2003 to divert water from the Leine River, which flows east of the lake, into the lake. From an ecological perspective, however, this measure is completely pointless, as intensive agriculture in the Leine catchment area washes large quantities of fertilizer into the river, and these nutrients further accelerate the silting of the Kiessee. Therefore, the inlet is reduced or even closed, especially in warm early summers. http://stadt-natur-wildnis.de/wild/kiessee-goettingen/

An institution in Göttingen - rowing on the Kiessee

Very beautifully located restaurant with a great view of the lake and a great menu. Just give it a try. You can find further information and opening times here: https://www.restaurant-kredo.de/.

Trips through the Leienauen and the Kiesse area offer interesting things in every season. Migrating and resident waterfowl can often be observed. Considerable cormorant colony.

A beautifully situated inn directly on the Göttinger Kiessee.

The path around the Kiessee is beautiful and easy to walk on. There were a lot of people out and about on Sunday afternoon.

There is an ice cream factory in the lower area.

A nice area for a walk.
