Lake Ziegelsee in Mölln is a true natural paradise with a maritime flair – a place that offers both peace and activity. With an area of approximately 36 hectares and a depth of up to 6.4 meters, the lake is nestled in the Herzogtum Lauenburg district and is crossed by the Elbe-Lübeck Canal. This makes it not only scenically attractive but also attractive for water sports enthusiasts: whether stand-up paddleboarding, motorboating, or simply a leisurely stroll along the shore – everyone will find their rhythm here. Particularly charming are the boat dock and the proximity to Mölln's historic old town, which gives the lake an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Lake Ziegelsee is also a popular spot for anglers, and even dogs will find their fill at the dog bathing area. In short: Lake Ziegelsee is more than just a body of water – it is a lively meeting place for nature lovers, connoisseurs, and anyone who wants to escape everyday life for a moment. A lake with soul and many perspectives. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziegelsee_(M%C3%B6lln)
