August 8, 2025, Wooden Rest Area

From the bench, the gaze sweeps over a flat meadow, where the "Oberteich" once spread out, drained around 1840. In the middle of the meadow, a small thicket can still be seen, hiding the meager remnant of the former Oberteich, fed by the Piepenbek coming from the direction of Voßkaten. This pond was one of over 60 fish ponds that the Cistercian monks of the former Reinfeld monastery created in the 12th century.

The Herrenteich Pond is located in the heart of the carp town of Reinfeld. It was artificially created in the 12th century by Cistercian monks as a reservoir for the Heilsau River for fish farming. Carp are still bred here today. A four-kilometer circular trail around the Lower Herrenteich invites you to discover this special ecosystem. 16 stations along the adventure trail offer fun and a nature experience in one, sharpening your awareness of the special features of this natural area. In summer, you can enjoy the cool water at the lido. See: https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/naturerlebnis/herrenteich-reinfeld-5

The Herrenteich in Reinfeld is a popular tourist destination. The approximately 55-hectare body of water is divided into the upper and lower Herrenteich. The upper Herrenteich remains a recognized nature reserve. The lower Herrenteich is home to, among other things, a hiking trail and an outdoor pool in the summer. Due to melting snow, the Herrenteich flooded in early March 2010. A temporary dam erected at the time due to construction work threatened to no longer hold the water masses. A breach of the dam would have flooded the entire hinterland. The Hamburg/Lübeck railway embankment would also have been affected.

Located in the heart of the town of Reinfeld, the Neuhof Pond covers approximately 2.5 hectares and boasts a good population of carp, bream, tench, and various whitefish species, as well as predatory fish such as eels, perch, pike, and zander.

The 3.7 km long trail leads along the partially wooded shore of the Herrenteich lake. The east and west banks are connected by a bridge at the "Fischhuser Damm"—north of this bridge begins the "Oberer Herrenteich" nature reserve. See: https://reinfeld-aktiv.de/tag/reinfeld/page/6/
