Fischerei Lasner is a family-run fishery on the Großer Plöner See in the Schleswig-Holstein municipality of Ascheberg. The business is one of the oldest fisheries in Schleswig-Holstein. The tradition of Fischerei Lasner can be traced back to the year 1810. The smoked goods on offer are very tasty. The prices are an outrage. The meal shown cost 21 Euros.

A great idyllic path

Fresh fish from Lake Plön and smoked fish straight from the oven can be purchased at the Lasner fish farm in Ascheberg. This way, you can try your hand at preparing your own fish dishes: whitefish with boiled potatoes, eel soup – there are countless fish recipes to choose from. For those who prefer to catch their own fish for their next meal, fishing licenses are available at many locations. Fishing without a permit is allowed here, however, a tourist fishing license (a temporary holiday fishing license) is required.

The path directly along the Perdoel estate to the bridge over the Alte Schwentine is private and closed. The lord of the manor does not like hikers using this path.

The 79-hectare "Kührener Teich and Surroundings" nature reserve, designated in 1994, lies directly south of the 207-hectare "Peninsulas and Bays in Lake Lanker" nature reserve, separated by the railway embankment. This protection safeguards two nationally important breeding, resting, and feeding areas for endangered and rare bird species, as well as for the rare fire-bellied toad. The core of the nature reserve is the 40-hectare fish pond, which is on average only half a meter deep and drains into Lake Lanker via a dam on the northern edge. North of the path, which runs along a narrow ridge, a species-rich, wet lowland area extends to the railway embankment. The natural water balance has been restored through damming. Large bodies of water occasionally extend here. The area is part of the European ecological network "Natura 2000" (protected habitat area and bird sanctuary). Pond management

The lake was first mentioned in a document in 1075 in a description of the Limes Saxoniae by Adam of Bremen. The village was first mentioned in 1347, when the knight Nikolaus Splyth pledged his estate, including the village of Stocksee, to Reinfeld Monastery. From 1640 to 1649, Stocksee was owned by the noble Brockdorff family. In 1649, Duke Joachim Ernst (Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön), the first Duke of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön, acquired Stocksee.[6]

On October 1, 1937, the municipality of Stocksee was merged with the neighboring village of Damsdorf under the name Stocksee. In 1948, the municipal council decided to separate the municipalities again, and this decision was implemented on March 31, 1951.[8][9] In the 1980s, divers found a roughly 700-year-old dugout canoe in the lake, indicating a longer settlement history in the village.

Today's lake fills a deeply incised glacial tongue basin from the Weichselian glaciation. This basin was formed by the advance of various glaciers, which carved out large basins in the soft soil and deposited the material laterally. This formation resulted in the lake's shores being relatively steep, and the reed beds along the shores are relatively narrow. The lake contains three islands (Großrethberg, Kleine Insel, and Lange Insel) and a peninsula, which, like the shoreline, are predominantly covered in alder swamp forests. In higher elevations, these wetland forests transition into extensively managed beech forests.
