The Great Dambeck Lake is located north of Schwerin and west of the Schwerin Outer Lake in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . It is located within the municipal areas of Bobitz and Zickhusen , is part of the Dambecker Lakes nature reserve and about two kilometers long and 900 meters wide. The water is divided into a wider north and a narrow south part and the Aubach flows through it. The lake is completely surrounded by a belt of reeds. In the southern part there is a larger island. The Drispether Moor borders in the south and south-west and the Kleine Dambecker See in the north .

description

The origin is a dead ice hollow shape in which an open lake formed after the ice melted. This dried up again and a swamp bog formed. In the 18th century an open water was created again. Around 1870, the lake received an artificial drain to the Aubach and the lake area was drained over a large area. The former lake area could thus be used as pastureland. The very complex trench management was given up in the 1920s, so that a swamping process could begin. Large areas of shallow water with heavy reed growth were created, which again covered around two thirds of the area at the end of the 1960s. Open water areas have been forming again since the 1970s.

The lake is known as a resting place for the bird migration of the northern European geese and as a breeding place for the bittern . Sea eagles and ospreys , spotted moorhen , water rail , thrush and reed warblers , swirls and bearded tits breed here. There are also fire-bellied toad and moor frog in larger populations.

Dambecker Lakes nature reserve

The large and small Dambeck lakes are legally protected as a 204 hectare nature reserve . Due to its ornithological importance, it was designated on June 2, 1947 with two extensions in 1967 and 1972. The current state of the area is classified as good. A dirt road between Wendisch-Rambow and Dambeck allows insights into the area. The nature reserve is part of the FFH area of forest and small water bodies of Dambecker Lakes and Buchholz .
