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.

Offers the best view of the enchanting Moderfitzsee. A hiking trail leads along the shore to the Haussee and the bathing area there. You can easily walk a beautiful loop and come out again at the monastery church or the lock!

This great bathing spot is located on the Moderfitzsee. Characteristics: nice, firm sandy bottom, you gradually get deeper into the water (ideal for children), 2 islands for better swimmers. Large sandy beach! - The monk at the front of the road (large wooden sculpture) shows us the way. There are signs for hikers and cyclists, but drivers have to find their way differently.
