Nice rest area with a great view, unfortunately spoiled by wild campfires and rubbish.

Lehnitzsee is a narrow dead-ice lake in the Zehdenick-Spandau Havel lowlands in the northern state of Brandenburg. It takes its name from the village of Lehnitz on the lake's southern shore. Lehnitz and Lehnitzsee are now part of the city of Oranienburg. The lake stretches 2.4 kilometers north-south, with a width of between 250 and 470 meters. Originally, Lehnitzsee was fed by the Stintgraben (also Stinegraben) and drained into the Havel River via the Lehnitzfließ. In 1914, the lake became part of the Havel-Oder Waterway. This created a navigable connection from the Malzer Canal via the Lehnitz Lock to the lake's northern shore. The old outflow, known as the Lehnitzfließ, of Lehnitzsee gave way to a canal connection to the Oranienburg Havel River. The construction work resulted in a significant drop in the water level, which reduced the lake's surface area. However, its catchment area expanded enormously. Industrial and port facilities on the western shore of the lake have largely disappeared. In addition to commercial shipping, which now only crosses the lake, which is part of a federal waterway, it is primarily important for recreational and excursion boating, and its shores serve as a local recreation area. Lake Lehnitz is a calcareous, unstratified lake with a relatively large catchment area. Considered potentially mesotrophic, the lake was weakly eutrophic in 2014, with a LAWA trophic index of 3.0. Both the ecological and chemical status of Lake Lehnitz is rated 3 (= "moderate status"; the WFD environmental objective is narrowly missed) on a five-level scale according to the EC Water Framework Directive. In Sarah Kuttner's novel Kurt (2019), the first-person narrator goes on a swimming trip to Lake Lehnitz with her partner Kurt.
