Located on the banks of the Lanker See in Preetz, the Blaue Bänke (Blue Benches) offer a dedicated spot for visitors to pause and take in the natural scenery. The site is a popular waypoint for those exploring the trails around the lake, providing a clear perspective of the water. However, the location is also a well-known gathering spot for local youth, which can lead to a noisier environment than typical nature spots. Visitors should expect a casual, unpolished setting that prioritizes the view over pristine seclusion.

Reviews for Blaue Bänke Lanker See are polarized between the quality of the view and the state of the environment. Visitors consistently praise the 'great view' of the lake, which remains the site's main attraction. However, the experience is heavily criticized due to the presence of 'drunk teenagers' and significant amounts of litter. Multiple reports highlight an abundance of beer and alcohol bottles left behind by local groups. This social activity appears to create a loud and somewhat neglected atmosphere that detracts from the natural setting. Overall, while the location is geographically well-placed, the lack of cleanliness and the rowdy crowds result in a poor visitor experience for those seeking peace.
