View of Klostersee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Klostersee near Lehnin has a triangular shape and stretches between Lehnin and Nahmitz. It covers an area of 38 ha and is 29 m above sea level on average. NN and has a depth of four to six meters in the middle area. Geologically, it is probably the remains of a dead ice block, since the surrounding sander plateau Zauche, which was deposited in the Vistula Ice Age, is rather barren and dry and glacial valleys did not flow here. The Emster, which comes from the mill pond above, flows through it. The Emster, a Havel tributary, connects the Klostersee with the Netzener See in its further course to the north.

The western shore is partially forested, the northern and eastern shores are almost entirely forested. The south-east bank is developed, on the west bank there is a natural campsite. In addition to signposted hiking trails, the bathing beach on the east bank, which is built on a slope, is worth mentioning. Around 100 meters south of the lido is the Lehnin sculpture park with sometimes changing depictions.

The body of water was named after the Cistercian monastery in Lehnin, founded in 1180 by the second Margrave of Brandenburg, Otto I, which is just a few minutes' walk from the southern end of the lake.

The official bridge as a connection over the Emster Canal was rebuilt in 2008, so that there is again an opportunity to cross the canal at a historic location. Because of its color scheme it is called “The Blue Bridge”. At its eastern end, the path branches off: one branch runs in a westerly direction, the second in a northerly direction to the monastery lake. The client for the new building was the municipality of Lehnin Monastery.
