Lake Parksee Lohne

Lake Parksee Lohne has been an insider’s tip for many years among families with children and people who enjoy a romantic, peaceful setting. Yet the grounds are never overcrowded. They’re large enough to offer plenty of space to spread out around the lake without being disturbed. No one minds if air mattresses float peacefully across the water or if people let their hair down on the eastern shore. The park-like grounds are also perfect for a short camping trip, whether you’re traveling alone or with a group. The natural surroundings are relaxing: trees sway in the breeze, birds chirp, and a frog hops along the shore.

Lake Parksee Lohne Information Profile

Lake Parksee Lohne is located north of Altwarmbüchen in the municipality of Isernhagen, surrounded by the “Obere Wietze” nature reserve. The lake is part of a campground, and for an admission fee, it offers swimming and relaxation to day visitors as well. The swimming area, featuring a small sandy beach, is located on the southern side of the lake. However, the sunbathing lawn can be used all around the lake. Nude swimming is permitted at this lake.
A variety of ball games are available, such as beach volleyball, table tennis, and mini-golf. Parking is available outside the campground grounds. No lifeguards on duty; swim at your own risk!

A ditch flows into Lake Parksee Lohne, which is used to drain rainwater from the agricultural land north of the lake. This route allows many nutrients to enter the lake. The nutrients promote the growth of cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae.

Some types of "blue-green algae" excrete metabolic products that can lead to allergic or toxic health problems in humans and animals. Mass accumulations of blue-green algae, so-called algal blooms, can be recognized by a bluish-greenish turbidity of the water, streaks, foamy mountains or cream-like layers on the water.

The Department of Health, as the responsible authority, conducts regular tests of the bathing water at the bathing site. The first water sample is taken before the start of the season. During the bathing season, from May 15 to September 15, samples are taken once a month. The water is tested for the indicator bacteria Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci. These results are published here and on the Lower Saxony State Health Office’s bathing water portal, among other places.

If the authorities become aware of the occurrence of mass proliferation of blue-green algae, the water is tested for blue-green algae and, if necessary, an official warning of acute occurrence of blue-green algae is issued. If large quantities of toxic blue-green algae are detected, a bathing ban is issued and published on site and on the internet.
