The Hofsee is a lake in the municipality of Hohen Wangelin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
The 31 hectare large and poorly structured Flachsee has a maximum extension of 970 by 440 meters. The water surface is 59.8 meters above sea level. The Nebel river flows through the lake from south to north. Smaller tributaries also form trenches in the vicinity of the water. The lake is surrounded by a narrow belt of black alder trees. The Hohen Wangeliner district of Cramon is located on the northern bank.
From a hydrological point of view, the moderately eutrophic Hofsee is a river lake, so it is mainly fed by the fog that runs through it.
Together with the Malkwitzer and Kraazer lakes , the Hofsee lies in the 508 hectare nature reserve Obere Nebelseen, which has existed since 1996 . The Upper Fog Lakes were formed by dead ice blocks from the Frankfurt advance of the Vistula Ice Age , which were covered by sander material from the Pomeranian advance and therefore melted more slowly than the rest of the ice. During the German settlement, Mühlenstaue were built within the chain of lakes. The lakes were once owned by the Malchow Monastery . During the GDR era, water was taken from them to irrigate arable land, and the liquid manure from the cattle fattening facility in Hohen Wangelin, which has existed since 1975, was rained in the area. Until 1997 pumping stations drained the bordering bogs.
