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/

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.

It's always nice to take a walk around the lake. Unfortunately it wasn't possible to have a coffee at Graf Isang today because the restaurant was surrounded by a closed ice sheet.

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

A beautiful circular route around the lake, with practically no inclines. However, the circular route usually leads around the lake at a certain distance from the shore, so that you cannot always see the lake. Now in autumn, the shore area is often populated by various migratory birds that rest there. In any case, take binoculars with you and please do not disturb the birds while they are resting. The restaurant "Graf Isang" on the west bank near the parking lot is highly recommended, great value for money and friendly service.

A nice area for a walk.

On Fridays there are some canoes, kayaks and sailing boats out and about.

It is nice to cycle around the lake, even if the path does not always lead along the shore.
