Description
The Hemmelsdorfer See is a lake that has many different water birds, depending on the time of year. Breeding birds include (Βουβός) Κύκνος, Καπακλής, (Κοινή) Φαλαρίδα and Σκουφοβουτηχτάρι. Other birds that are observerd regularly are (Ευρωπαϊκή) Αλκυόνη, (Ευρωπαϊκός) Θαλασσαετός, Καλαμόκιρκος, Καλαμοποταμίδα, Τσιχλοποταμίδα, Γαλαζολαίμης and Μουστακαλής. During migration you can observe birds like Νανόγλαρος, Ψαραετός, Μαυρογλάρονο and Γκισάρι.
Coolest one I've seen were Νανοπρίστης in winter and I heard (Ευρωπαϊκός) Συκοφάγος in the trees in summer. The boardwalk goes out into the lake and along the reeds. Also great spot for landscape photography.

Access
The Hemmelsdorfer See is located north of Lübeck in the immediate vicinity of the Baltic Sea. The restaurant has a small parking lot, in which you can get a spot very early in the morning. . Otherwise there is a free, public parking area available a little further down the road, which I marked as the trail head. Click on a P in the map for directions.
