Bordesholmer See

The Bordesholmer Lake is a lake in Schleswig -Holstein, close to the community Bordesholm.

Location

The lake is located on the territory of the district of Rendsburg- Eckernförde and was formed during the Weichsel glaciation as subglacial Abflusstal. Significant inflows are missing; for this reason the lake is mainly fed by groundwater, as well as by precipitation. An artificial inflow is the stone moat that supplies water from the Einfelder lake. Drained the lake on the north-east past stint ditch which flows through the mill pond of the mill Schmalsteder the Eider.

The lake is closed for motorized boats. On the east side there is a bathhouse. At the foot of the lake is to walk around in about an hour, of which about 80 % on a hiking trail off the road.

Formation and colonization

After the melting of the ice caps of the last ice age over northern Germany, the lakes in Holstein landscapes have emerged about 15,000 years ago. The Bordesholmer country was at that time primarily from large water and wetlands from which emerged later, the Einfelder lake, the Dosenmoor and Bordesholmer lake.

Dating from around 9000 BC, the first indications of the presence of Palaeolithic hunters and gatherers on the banks of the lake find. From about 5000 BC people settle on Bordesholmer lake.

V. In 1700 AD created here one of the largest North German settlements of the Bronze Age. Evidence from this period are, inter alia, the megalithic tombs and the bride mountain, a Bronze Age urn hill, to the year 500 AD to be buried over 5000 polls on the.

For this, the glacial trough should be used from Obereider, Both Kamper, Bordesholmer and Einfelder lake. After the watershed at Einfelder See the Lower Elbe over the two rivers Schwale and sturgeon would have been achieved.
