Tips from the Community

D. Adams
July 20, 2026, Stolpsee Bathing Area

Very beautiful sandy beach, shallowly sloping, ideal for swimming. Also a good landing spot for paddlers.

Lake Moderfitz was first mentioned in a document in 1299 (stagnum Westwitz) and, along with 38 other named lakes, was part of the original estate of the Himmelpfort Monastery. The name may derive from the Old Polabian root form *Vostrovica, meaning "island," which applies to the island in the lake.

The lake is fed by a short stream from the Moderfitzsee and the Woblitz and drains into the Stolpsee via the Mühlenfließ / lock canal Himmelpfort.

In Himmelpfort, there is a children's playground near the monastery ruins, where children can play safely while parents and other adults can watch the busy traffic in the lock during the summer.

The Himmelpfort Christmas House offers a Christmas-themed parlor, which is part of an idyllically located café between the monastery ruins, brewery, and herb garden.
