The Herrenteich Pond is located in the heart of the carp town of Reinfeld. It was artificially created in the 12th century by Cistercian monks as a reservoir for the Heilsau River for fish farming. Carp are still bred here today. A four-kilometer circular trail around the Lower Herrenteich invites you to discover this special ecosystem. 16 stations along the adventure trail offer fun and a nature experience in one, sharpening your awareness of the special features of this natural area. In summer, you can enjoy the cool water at the lido. See: https://tourismus-stormarn.de/de/naturerlebnis/herrenteich-reinfeld-5

The Herrenteich in Reinfeld is a popular tourist destination. The approximately 55-hectare body of water is divided into the upper and lower Herrenteich. The upper Herrenteich remains a recognized nature reserve. The lower Herrenteich is home to, among other things, a hiking trail and an outdoor pool in the summer. Due to melting snow, the Herrenteich flooded in early March 2010. A temporary dam erected at the time due to construction work threatened to no longer hold the water masses. A breach of the dam would have flooded the entire hinterland. The Hamburg/Lübeck railway embankment would also have been affected.

It should read: Reinfeld - Herrenteich. Reinbeck is wrong, Reinbek is in the south of Stormarn, near Hamburg

The bridges and locks are very nice changes. The animals that you can see in the morning or in the evening when all the boats have left are impressive. We saw snakes and beavers. In addition, of course, swans and other water birds and many fish.

First cream, this section: great asphalt, hardly any traffic and varied through a few curves and the changing cultural landscape left and right (sometimes trees/bushes, sometimes fields).
