The Boekzeteler Meer is an East Frisian low moor lake between Timmel (municipality of Großefehn ) and Boekzetelerfehn (municipality of Moormerland ) in Lower Saxony . The lake area itself belongs to Moormerland.
The current water area is 0.13 square kilometers - in times before the extensive surface drainage of the East Frisian landscape, it should have been several times that. The lake is located in a transition area between the marshland and the Geest . It is traversed by channel-like lows , especially the Bagbander Tief, and otherwise fed by groundwater .
The lake is used by the district fishing association for East Frisia as a fishing water.
The area is characterized by low grassland and fens . There are also old windmills and bascule bridges around the lake. North of the lake at the end of the 20th century, a larger artificial lake, the Timmeler Meer, was created, which is used for tourism and local recreation, while the Boekzeteler Meer is a nature reserve .
West of the Boekzeteler Meer was the Coming Boekzetel of the Order of St. John in the Middle Ages .
