The Flögelner See is a moor lake about 1.55 square kilometers (= 155 hectares) near the village of Flögeln north of the moor spa Bad Bederkesa in the north of Lower Saxony . There is a water connection to Halemer and to Dahlemer See , both of which are under nature protection.
The lake borders extensive moorland areas in the northeast . There is a small island in the lake where you can see the remains of a medieval moated castle . From a viewing platform on the side of the village you have a good view of the flora and fauna of the lake.
Numerous species of birds nest at the lake and whooper swans come from Northern Europe and Russia in winter .
The southern lake outflow leads over the floodplain to the Hadelner Canal , which is part of the Elbe-Weser shipping route . The lake drain is not navigable, but suitable for paddlers.
The lake is popular as a fishing area as it is rich in eel , perch , bream , pike , carp , rudd , roach , tench , whitefish and pikeperch .
