At some points on the lake there are dangerous katabatic winds (Fallwinde) that are often underestimated and may lead to serious problems. This occurs mainly in the Fissau Bay. At this point, the lake lies between two steep hills, due to its glacial history. In addition, the lake is particularly deep, because the Schwentine enters it here.The adjacent Mondschein or Stille Bay freezes later than the lake, as does the area around the mouth of the Schwentine. The thin sheet of ice in these areas can be dangerous.
