The Lütjensee in the Stormarn district is around 33 hectares in size and is a popular destination for day trippers who want to leave the hustle and bustle of the city behind them for a while. From the riverside paths you can enjoy a wide view over the water, which glows in different colors depending on the time of day. The sunsets from this side of the lake are truly spectacular.

The outdoor pool and the Großensee are great - the Midsummer Triathlon and transition zone also take place here https://midsummer-triathlon.de But if you want to ride a racing bike (and don't want to take breaks to swim) you should know: you can't get to the lake from the poorly paved road and the road through Großensee is in a miserable condition: potholes, patches and bumps without end, so that you can hardly find a track that you can get through easily. There are also quite a lot of cars and a footpath, which isn't really an alternative either.
