Lake Niehuuser – also called Niehuussee – is located in the municipality of Harrislee in the Schleswig-Flensburg district, directly on the German-Danish border between Niehuus and Padborg. Nestled in a charming natural landscape, it is a beautiful local recreation destination and invites you to take leisurely walks around the water. The lake is part of the cross-border Krusau Tunnel Valley, a gently rolling landscape with damp valley floors, springs, and alder swamp forests that stretches along the border river Krusau. Accordingly, the area is part of a FFH conservation area and therefore enjoys a high ecological protection status. Visitors can enjoy pleasant hiking and circular trails – such as a 5.6 km route around the lake, which can also be found as a circular hike on platforms such as RouteYou. The western side of the lake already marks the border with Denmark, giving the walk a particularly charming, border-oriented perspective. The lake is particularly popular with photographers – it is considered an atmospheric subject, especially in the evening with its charming light. Furthermore, the ASV Petri Heil Flensburg is committed to accessibility: a barrier-free jetty was recently built, making access to the water easier.

This overnight accommodation is offered by the Schleswig-Holstein Nature Conservation Foundation. The site is located in the heart of the Schäferhaus Foundation's land (Schleswig-Flensburg district), a former military training area. At this overnight accommodation, you can pitch your tent near the sculpture next to the famous "Ochsenweg," a historic country road. The overnight accommodation is unmissable thanks to the wooden sculpture depicting two symbolic ox horns. A sign with the "Wild Schleswig-Holstein" logo makes it easy to find the overnight accommodation. Advance reservation for camping on the Schäferhaus Foundation's land is not necessary.
