use
The Mahndorfer See serves as a bathing lake with a DLRG station from 1982. There are two beach areas with coarse-grained sand and three sunbathing areas. A forest extends between the lake and A1 , through which you can walk around the lake. Since the water is very poor in nutrients , it has a very good bathing quality.
There are two small bird protection islands in the lake , entry into which is prohibited. Together with the forest to the south, they form a nature reserve.
