The Wangermeer is an approximately 100 hectare man-made recreational lake in the municipality of Wangerland in north-western Lower Saxony .

description

The Wanger sea on the northern outskirts of Hohenkirchen was created by clay mining in the course of dike raising measures in Elizabeth Groden by the III. Oldenburg dike tape . To develop the northern side of the lake, a 325-meter-long bridge promenade was built across the lake for pedestrians and cyclists, which, due to its height, makes it possible for small sailing boats to pass under it. The municipality plans to use it for tourism in the future. The key point is a hiking and cycling path around the lake. An ecologically valuable shallow water zone is to be created in the northeast of the lake.
