Tips from the Community
The path leads directly past the bathing area.

A grassy path leads along the lake to the bathing area, and there is also a parking lot above the bathing area. The bathing area has a jetty and is marked as a non-swimmer and swimmer zone. Watch out for seaweed in the swimming area. There is a small sandy beach, a large lawn, and benches for relaxing, as well as restrooms and a changing room. The lake is 23 hectares in size and 2.2 meters deep and is a channel lake (formed by thawed meltwater during the last ice age).

With an area of approximately 23 hectares (2 km long, 250 m wide), Lake Nehms is one of the region's smaller lakes. In early summer, the hilly Holstein landscape is a lush green, making the lake a popular destination for day trips. Due to its relatively shallow depth of 2.2 m, the water warms up comparatively quickly, a fact well known to locals who enjoy the afternoon sun at the beach in the northeast. Motorboats are not permitted on the lake, creating a peaceful and natural environment. But fishing is permitted – so be careful when bathing your dog.

Lake Nehms offers a beautiful beach with real sand, a spacious, well-maintained green area, and a lovely wooden bathing jetty. The beach is free to use and there is no lifeguard on duty – ideal for nature-based swimming. In June, the water quality is exceptionally clean. Clearly demarcated non-swimmer and swimmer zones ensure safety.

On the northern shore of Lake Nehms, there are several designated dog bathing areas – here's one of them. A particularly convenient feature: They're protected by a reed-free zone, so your four-legged friend can splash around in the water undisturbed. Note: Fishing is prohibited year-round at the dog bathing areas 😅

At this inconspicuous intersection stand three granite memorial stones. They commemorate important moments: the founding of the village of Nehms in 1225, German Unity Day, and a third, unfortunately difficult to read memorial stone. A quiet place that keeps history alive – with a shelter perfect for a short stop, not just in the rain.

The jetty with the fishing boats is not open to the public, but a look at the beautiful grounds is still worthwhile.
