Bebensee on Lake Neversdorf

Bebensee and Lake Neversdorf

There is a bathing area in Bebensee on Lake Neversdorf. The lake lies between Leezen, Neversdorf and Bebensee, covers about 84 hectares and is up to 9.5 metres deep. Meadows and fields predominate along its shores, with individual trees in between. The result is a combination of open countryside and a village shaped by agriculture beside the water. These are two distinct aspects to consider when choosing where to stay: the bathing area by the lake and Bebensee’s rural character.

Lake Neversdorf and its surroundings are part of a regionally significant protected area and biotope network. Motorboats are not permitted on the lake. Fish species living there include eel, zander, perch, pike, carp, tench, roach and bream. Fishing permits for Lake Neversdorf are available from Amt Leezen; confirm the current arrangements for issuing them locally before planning your fishing trip.

Cycling loop and countryside views

The Bebensee Tour is a 23-kilometre circular cycling route that runs through the foothills of the eastern Holstein Switzerland uplands. On this route, Lake Mözener is a refreshing stop for a swim. The tour was assessed in 2021 in the Reisen für Alle system and described as having few obstacles. This information refers to the assessment from that year.

A route that passes through Bebensee also reaches the Traveweg. After leaving the village, you can see gently rolling meadows and fields shaped by the Ice Age, heading towards the Middle Trave Valley. This brings different landscapes together: the shore areas of Lake Neversdorf and the open surroundings along the Traveweg, shaped by the Ice Age.

Village character and accommodation

Bebensee is considered one of the oldest villages in the area and is shaped by agriculture. This adds to the picture of a place that is about more than just the lake and bathing area. Visitors staying overnight in Bebensee can stay on farms or in guesthouses. When planning your stay, you can take both the village’s rural character and the options at Lake Neversdorf into account.
