Border lake to Poland |

The Schlosssee (Polish: Jezioro Stolsko ) is a border lake near Pampow in the Vorpommern-Greifswald district ( Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ) and Stolec in the Policki Powiat on the Polish side.
The body of water is located in the municipality of Blankensee and the Polish rural municipality of Dobra . On the eastern shore of the lake is the place Stolec (Stolzenburg) , which gave the lake its name. Its size is about 65.3 hectares. The maximum dimensions are 1580 by 900 meters. In the German part, which is completely in the Gottesheide nature reserve with Schlosssee and Lenzener See , there are two small overgrown islands. On the west bank, which is barely above lake level, there is a large wetland area with ditches and swamp forests . The lake drains to the east via the Aalgraben ( Gunica in Polish ).
In the 1990s, an American B-17G bomber was recovered from the lake, which had been considered missing since May 29, 1944 and flew an attack on the synthetic fuel production plant in Pölitz .
