Kossau basin

The Kossau is a stream in the district of Plön in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It drains the lake and flows past Lütjenburg and through the Großer Binnensee before entering the Baltic Sea near Hohwacht. The stream was dammed near in the Middle Ages to form a lake which existed until the 18th century. It is about long and most of its course consists of meanders. It is largely in a natural state and, together with its wet meadows, forms a rich habitat. The Kossau Valley is a designated nature reserve.
