Lake

Schaalsee

The Schaalsee is one of the deepest lakes in northern Germany — a tranquil biosphere reserve on the former border between Mecklenburg and Holstein.

The Schaalsee is located on the border between Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, east of Lübeck. This glacially-formed lake is one of the deepest in northern Germany and is surrounded by a chain of smaller bodies of water, bays and peninsulas. Because the inner-German border ran through here for decades, nature remained largely undisturbed; today the region is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Quiet shores, forests and abundant birdlife make it a destination for peaceful days in nature.
