Lopausee, reservoir in Germany
Lopausee is a quiet body of water near Amelinghausen created by damming the Lopau river. A walking trail of about two kilometers winds around the lake with benches and views through wooded and open spaces.
Lopausee was created when the Lopau river was dammed and sits within the Luneburger Heide nature reserve. The creation of this reservoir combined water management needs with the development of a recreation area for the region.
The name comes from the Lopau river that was dammed to create this body of water. Locals and visitors gather here to spend time outdoors together, making it a focal point for simple leisure and social connection.
The lake is easy to reach by car with ample parking near the water. An accessible walking path circles the lake, and along the way you will find restaurants and nearby play areas for children.
During summer months a major festival takes place at Lopausee with the Heide Queen appearing on a floating stage, culminating in August with laser lights and fireworks over the water. This rare spectacle draws many visitors who come to enjoy the festive evening atmosphere.
