On the railway embankment running along the western part of the lake, there is a footpath. In warm weather, the inland waters quickly begin to bloom, which is a result of the high nutrient input from the freshwater inflows and the municipal sewage treatment plant. On the eastern shore, hidden by a school forest, lies the former municipal landfill. This becomes visible again and again at the eroding shoreline. This landfill is monitored with the help of control drillings.

A peninsula, overgrown with salt marshes, juts out into the northwestern part of the lake. This biotope, which has become rare on the Baltic Sea coast of Schleswig-Holstein, is a breeding and resting place as well as a food reservoir for a number of waders and water birds, including the curlew, the redshank, the snipe, and the common tern.

The beach promenade, with its decorative elements, shops, and events, is definitely worth a look. It can also be quite entertaining to relax and enjoy the hustle and bustle after a walk, with a drink.
