Lake Brahm
Highlight • Lake
The municipality of Langwedel lies directly on the eastern shore of the lake, and the municipality of Eisendorf is located on the southwestern shore. There are swimming areas in both Eisendorf and Langwedel.
In its western part, the lake flows into the Wardersee.
It is a calcareous, unstratified lake with a large catchment area.
The lake is a glacial channel lake dating back to the Weichselian glaciation. It forms part of a so-called glacial channel with the Pohlsee to the north and the Borgdorfer See to the south.
The lake's name derives from a Low German field name, specifically from the broom (Low German: Bram), which was a characteristic plant of the heathland in earlier times.
The lake is part of the Westensee Nature Park, a landscape area designated primarily for recreational use in the Schleswig-Holstein Landscape Plan.
Therefore, the lake's shores are home to many holiday homes, campsites, and the youth recreation centers (Jugendheim/Zeltplatz Brahmsee and Waldheim am Brahmsee).
Until the 1990s, the lake was used for commercial fishing. Today, it is used solely as a fishing spot by recreational anglers. Brahmsee became famous through former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, who invited many guests from international politics and business to his weekend home there. The lake is privately owned. Navigation and fishing are only permitted to residents who have purchased a permit from the owner.

Alt-Mühlendorf Watermill
Highlight • Monument
It is assumed that Alt-Mühlendorf has had a water mill since at least the first mention of the place in 1271, which was used as a grain and wage mill. In the now well-preserved mill from 1860, electrical energy was generated from water power for the first time during the classic mill operation in 1913. A DC generator operated a battery, from which the light requirements for the owner of the mill and his neighbors were covered. In 1949 the system was converted to three-phase current and the power supply company Schleswag fed the electricity not required for its own use into its network.
Since 1971 the turbine has been driving a generator of 23 kilowatts, with which the mill owner's annual needs could be covered almost entirely from the operation of the hydropower plant. In 1992 the watermill was sold to Schleswag (E.ON Hanse).
With the order of the State Office for Monument Preservation Schleswig-Holstein on October 4, 2005, the water mill was entered in the monument book for cultural monuments from historical times and is therefore under monument protection.
