Kastorfer See

3 Slavs castles dating from the 7th - 12th Century on the banks and on the island

The Kastorfer lake is located northwest of Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg- Vorpommern. It is located between the municipalities Knorrendorf Kastorf district in the west and wild mountain in the east. He is a Rinnensee and created during the last ice age ( Weichselian ) from a former meltwater channel which permanently filled after the retreat of ice with water. It is divided by a broadening with island in the middle in a more structured narrow North Basin, and an elongated, also very narrow unarticulated southern basin. It has an approximate length of 2.1 kilometers and a width of 500 meters in the middle of the lake. The eastern shore is forested ( Wildberger forestry ) and the west bank is used for agriculture. The lake is fed to the north by a ditch, which rises wetlands near Wolde, from the well which flows eastward outgoing Mühlbach. At the southern end of the lake there is a drainage ditch that is the Gädebehner lake and the lake Möllner crosses and called from Mölln Lühmbach. The lake is part of the Kastorfer - Möllner chain of lakes and was probably connected with the earlier Gädebehner lake and Möllner lake.
