The Höftsee is a lake in the Holstein Switzerland in North Germany. It lies on the

River Schwentine east of the town of Plön between the Behler See and the Großer Plöner See
. It has an area of about 18 hectares (44 acres), is up to 16 metres deep and lies about 22 m above sea level (NN).

There is a watermill on the Höftsee that makes use of the drop between the Höftsee and the Großer Plöner See. The associated weir is impassable to boats. There is however a boat slide that considerably eases the transportation of boats over land.
