The swimming area on Lake Neversdorfer See gives Bebensee a direct connection to the water; at the same time, the village is shaped by agriculture. A 23-kilometre cycling route bears the name Bebensee Tour. This brings together three distinct focal points: the lake, rural village character and cycling.

Lake Neversdorfer See: Swimming Area and Landscape

Lake Neversdorfer See lies between Leezen, Neversdorf and Bebensee. It covers around 84 hectares and reaches a depth of up to 9.5 metres. Its shores consist mainly of meadows, fields and occasional trees. The lake and its surroundings are part of a regionally significant network of protected areas and biotopes. Motorboats are not permitted on Lake Neversdorfer See. The lake is home to eel, zander, perch, pike, carp, tench, roach and bream. Fishing permits can be obtained through the Leezen municipal office; visitors should confirm the current licensing rules locally. The swimming area and open shoreline show two sides of the same body of water: its direct appeal for swimming and the natural environment surrounding the lake.

Routes Around Bebensee

A route that passes through Bebensee reaches the Traveweg after leaving the village. After leaving the village, visitors can see gently rolling meadows and fields shaped by the Ice Age there, heading towards the Middle Trave. The Bebensee Tour is a 23-kilometre cycling loop that runs through the foothills of the eastern uplands of Holstein Switzerland. The route was assessed in 2021 under the “Reisen für alle” system; the assessment notes few obstacles. If particular obstacles are crucial to your plans, check the current situation in advance. On the Bebensee Tour, Lake Mözener See is considered a place for a refreshing swimming break, while Bebensee’s swimming area is on Lake Neversdorfer See.
