Dobbertiner See is a lake in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in northern Germany, situated close to the small town of Dobbertin. It is one of many lakes in the glacially formed Mecklenburg lake landscape.
The shoreline and nearby woodland provide paths for short walks and opportunities for birdwatching. The lake is part of a rural lake-and-forest setting rather than a large recreational or bathing complex.
The lake basin is part of the post-glacial terrain that shapes much of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Local settlements and farming have shaped the shorelands over centuries.
The lake sits adjacent to the town of Dobbertin in western Mecklenburg, within the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte region of Germany.
