Grundlose See The Grundlose See, which is a good 2 meters deep, is 440 meters long from north to south and up to 170 meters wide in the northern area. It has an area of 4.7 hectares and is 72.5 meters above mean sea level. About 400 meters to the northeast are the elliptical Kleine See, which is 50 to 70 meters in diameter, and two other slightly smaller bodies of water. The Grundlose See was originally a remnant of the Ice Age that had almost silted up. Its preservation is not only due to the damming peat bog that grew up, but also to processes of raised bog scour formation. The lake can be walked around the shore from hiking car parks in the east (Ebbingen) and south (north of Fulde). There is also a lake of the same name in Upper Bavaria, near Lake Chiemsee. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundloses_Moor
