Kellersee, Lake in Holstein Switzerland region, Germany
Description
Kellersee is a large glacial lake in the Holstein Switzerland region with a surface area around 560 hectares and maximum depths of 27 meters. Forested hills rise from its shoreline, creating sheltered bays and an varied landscape around the water's edge.
History
This lake formed during the last ice age when glaciers carved deep basins and shaped the surrounding landscape. Glacial activity created the steep shorelines and multiple bays that remain visible today.
Culture
Local fishing families have shaped daily life around this water for generations, maintaining practices that connect people to seasonal cycles and local traditions. The relationship between residents and the lake defines how the community gathers and works together.
Practical
This is a popular destination for anglers who can obtain fishing permits at lakeside facilities, though visitors should be aware of sudden wind conditions. The Fissau Bay area is particularly prone to unexpected strong winds that can develop rapidly.
Did you know?
Certain bays such as Mondschein Bay and Stille Bay freeze later than the rest of the lake, creating distinct ice patterns during winter months. These differences occur due to local water movement and the shape of the shoreline.
