Lake Königskeil

Highlight • Lake

The Königskeil is a very secluded lake in the middle of the forest by the Eternal Sea. Nice destination for a REST break in which you can clean up your provisions - but you have to bring that with you!

With a surface area of 89.2 hectares, the Eternal Sea is Germany's largest raised bog lake. The boardwalk around the nature reserve is currently closed. Only the path to the sea is open and can be reached from the parking lot in just a few minutes. There is a small platform and a bench.

KÖNIGSKEIL ○ After the 1765 edict of reclamation, the Prussian king took possession of wasteland, heaths and moors for himself and leased them to colonists. Disputes over the land that had previously been used jointly were inevitable. The Norder Fehngesellschaft also fought with the state for 80 years over land that had been promised to them in the leasehold contract. When an agreement was reached in 1875, the company received the so-called "Königskeil" and an enlarged area nearby as compensation. -Information board on site-

The lake got its name from its special shape. The municipal area protrudes in a wedge shape to the west. The "royal" part of the name indicates that it was former royal land. Peat extraction was carried out on the site until 2013.

Great, idyllically located, albeit artificially created, lake. Ideal for a break.

The Tannenhausen bathing lake is also affectionately called the "Rimini East Friesland". The white pebble beach is the reason why the East Frisians call the bathing lake in the Aurich district of Tannenhausen the "Rimini East Friesland". Thanks to the best water quality, the lake is very popular with both locals and holidaymakers. If you want to spend the night in a typical East Frisian style in the immediate vicinity of the lake, you can do so in the holiday home area right on the lake! There are no specific opening times as the bathing lake is freely accessible.
