The Kraazer See is a lake in the municipality of Hohen Wangelin in the Mecklenburg Lake District in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Until a ditch connection to Lake Malkwitz was built, it was the source lake of the Nebel River .
The 32 hectare body of water is located about 15 kilometers northwest of Waren (Müritz) within the Mecklenburg Lake District . The maximum dimensions are about one kilometer in north-south and 600 meters in west-east direction. The water surface is 60 meters above sea level. Coming from the west, from Lake Malkwitz, the fog flows into the lake, only to leave it in the north towards the Hofsee . Above all from the only slightly rising east bank, several ditches lead into the weakly eutrophic and shallow water. A peninsula protrudes into the lake from this side. To the west, the terrain with the dry hill rises relatively steeply to around 77 meters. For the most part, the water , which is surrounded by a belt of reeds and black alder trees, is bordered by spring moors and extensively managed grassland, to which a larger, contiguous coniferous forest area adjoins in the east and south.
Together with the Malkwitzer See and the Hofsee, the Kraazer See 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 of the region, the Kraazer See was artificially connected to the Malkwitz lake to the west and higher, and mill dams 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.
