Beautifully situated small lake in the middle of the forest. It is very mythical to look at, especially in winter or when there is fog.

The Söllkensee was created in the 19th century through peat extraction in "Küsterbäcks Moor", a meltwater channel of the Greifswald terminal moraine. Today it is a natural monument and spawning grounds for common toads and moor frogs. The new silting process is clearly visible in the northeastern part. Here a cotton-grass peat bog has formed, which is partly forested with peat birches. According to legend, an old privy councilor from Charlottenburg went for a walk here. Enthusiastic about the place, he suggested to the owner of the inn in Potthagen that they set up signposts from the village to the lake and thus show the excursion guests the beauty of the area. However - so the legend goes on - the old privy councilor found the name "Sülkenmuur" too daunting, too boggy. And so the “Sülkenmuur” became the Sölkensee. Today both names - Sölkensee and Söllkensee - are in use.
