The Wittensee ( Danish : Vittensø ) is a glacial terminal moraine lake in the eastern hilly landscape of Schleswig-Holstein . It is located in the south of the Hüttener Berge nature reserve in the city triangle of Schleswig , Rendsburg and Eckernförde . To the west of the lake is the smaller Bistensee .
location
The communities Groß Wittensee , Klein Wittensee and Bünsdorf are located on the shores of the lake . The lake has several tributaries, of which the Habyer Au , which flows into the lake at the southeast corner, is the largest. The outflow is the Schirnau . It leaves the lake at its southwest corner, leads about 3 km to the south and flows into the Kiel Canal at Gut Schirnau . Before the canal was built, it flowed into the Eider at the same point .
The Wittensee was created during the Vistula Ice Age: The large Baltic Sea glacier in Schleswig-Holstein was divided into a "Holstein Lobus " and a "Eckernförde Lobus"; the “Eckernförde Lobus” in turn divided into a northern (“ Windebyer-Noor tongue”) and a southern one (“Wittensee- Goossee ”) in what is now the Eckernförde area, taking advantage of a contour of the Eckernförde Bay (which according to some geologists was created before the Ice Age) -Tongue ") Partial ice tongue. The northern tongue formed u. a. the Hüttener Berge , the Wittensee-Goossee-Tunge the Duvenstedter Berge.
There are bathing areas monitored in accordance with the Bathing Water Directive in Bünsdorf, Groß Wittensee (Seegarten) and on Habyer Str. The official monitoring of the long-term bathing area in Sande (Klein Wittensee) was lifted in 2016. There has been a replacement since summer 2017 with the bathing area in the “Am See” development area.
