Unfortunately, the Herrensee has already lost a not inconsiderable part of its original size due to silting up.

Small car park directly at the entrance to the RuheForst Strausberg. It's only a stone's throw to Herrensee.

This parking lot is ideal for getting into the forest area at Herrensee. Be careful here, as it is a quiet / ried forest! Furthermore, the 66-Seen- & Jakobsweg leads along. ☝️👋
