Sternberg Lake District
The Sternberg Lake District is a natural area of the Mecklenburg Lake District . It roughly covers the area of the Warnow loop between above (east) Crivitz to the mouth of the Mildenitz and the breakthrough valley of the Warnow north of Sternberg, as well as the slightly narrower lake area from Brüel via Warin to Neukloster on the river system of the Brüeler Bach .
In more recent times the lake landscape around the town of Sternberg is also called Sternberger Seenland or Sternberger Seenlandschaft . These terms can, however, refer to the natural area as well as the much smaller Sternberger Seenlandschaft , the partly differently delimited Sternberger Seenland nature park or others, e.g. Sometimes not explicitly defined boundaries.
History and description
Like other parts of the Mecklenburg Lake District, the landscape was created in the course of the Vistula Ice Age around 18,000 to 15,000 years ago in the glacial valleys and sands of the Pomeranian Stadium. It ends to the northeast directly at the Pomeranian main terminal moraine between the breakthrough valley of the Warnow through the same and, in the extreme north, the place Züsow . Halfway, about 12 km away from both, is the highest point in this section of the Hohe Burg at 147.4 m . However, the heights of the terminal moraines already belong to the backland of the Mecklenburg Lake District , which adjoins the Lake District to the northeast.
The Sternberger See near Sternberg, as the namesake of the natural area, is located at a height of only 8.4 m above sea level. NHN in a basin that was probably still filled with dead ice at the Pomeranian Stadium and was drained via the Demener channel , named after Demen , leading to the southwest . It led to the glacial valley of the western Mecklenburg depression ; today it ends geomorphologically at the Barniner See of the Warnow, which is noticeably higher at 36.3 m . The Demener Rinne forms the eastern border of the unit to the Krakow lake and sand area , which together with the Sternberg lake area forms the Sternberg-Krakow lake and sand area.
The most important lakes in the northern part of the Brüeler Bach are the Great Wariner See and Neuklostersee .
