Reinfeld the carp-town.
image author: Rüdiger Poweleit In the district's north is the town of Reinbek (Holstein) situated. It can be reached directly over the motorway Hamburg/Lübeck. The town can also easily reached by train and has a lovely station. Cistercian monks, settled here since 1186, dammed the little river Heilsau and started to create fish-lakes. The biggest, the Herren-lake, has an area of ca. 60ha. One can walk around it on a lovely path. A nature swimming place with a sandy beach is ideal for recreation during the summer months.
The town carries the by-name of carp-town. On the harvest weekend the carp season starts with the fishing at the Herren-lake. This event attracts of course many visitors from near and far. The season lasts till Easter. During this time the restaurants are very busy. Gourmets from all over North-Germany mostly enjoy the town's heraldic animal as 'carp au bleu'.
