Trebelsee

The Trebelsee is a lake in the course of the Havel between the villages of Zachow and Gutenpaaren in the north and Schmergow and Deetz in the south. The entire lake is part of the Lower Havel Waterway. The Spree-Havel Waterways and Shipping Authority is responsible. The name Trebel comes from the Slavic language and means something like river through Rodeland.

The lake has an almost east-west extension. It begins with the end of the dam ditch at kilometre 38.00 of the UHW. The dam ditch is an artificial extension of the waterway past small oxbow lakes of the Havel running north and south. These include the Schmergower Havel, the Ketziner Havel, the Kleine Havel, the Kirchhofshavel and the Enge Havel. Today, they are only navigable to a limited extent. Its end is approximately at the Deetz Breakthrough between a headland in the north and the island of Mittelbusch in the south. The lake is about 2.5 kilometers long. Its widest point is about 1.20 kilometers. In the northern area of the water there is a designated water ski route marked by appropriate buoying. On the south bank there is a deposit, called Steinhafen. Coming from the south from the village of Schmergow, Die Steege, a historic brick paved street, ends there. The lake is surrounded by a post-glacial slight hilly landscape with the 79-metre-high Kahler Berg near Zachow in the north and the Trebelberg to the south. It is 68 meters high. Also on the south bank is the artificial hill of the Deetz construction waste landfill.
