The Lopausee is a reservoir east of Amelinghausen in the Lüneburg Heath . The Lopau was dammed here by a dam in the 1970s to form a lake with a size of approx. 12 hectares . The dam lies parallel to the road embankment of the B209 passing by .
The lake serves exclusively as a nature area and for local recreation. The water quality is good; Fishing and swimming in the lake is possible. For the latter there is a beach and a pontoon in the lake. Visitors can walk around the lake on a 2.2 km long footpath and bike path. There is a restaurant and a pedal boat rental on the shore. For some time there has also been a high ropes course on the lake. In Lopaupark am See there is a children's playground. Every year for the traditional heather blossom festival , the lake is the stage for the grand opening fireworks display .
