West shore of Kellersee

Highlight • Lake

Real water lovers never get enough of the cool water. In Malente, in the middle of the Holstein Switzerland holiday region, you can experience water sports in all their variety. If you like cycling, you could, for example, set off on the Dieksee in a pedal boat. In the calm waters of the lake district, even beginners can try diving and learn easily. The Schwentine, with its romantically overgrown banks and pretty villas, is ideal for trying stand-up paddling in a beautiful setting with its shallow waters. These and many other refreshing activities are - just like the water in Malente - often just a few minutes away.

Fissau Bay, Lake Keller

Highlight • Lake

Nice to drive, but sometimes with small hills, but here in the Holstein Switzerland are normal. Fissau already belongs to Eutin and is a suburb, so to speak. If you drive through Fissau you will soon be at the Great Eutin Lake. The Mönchsweg continues here on the southeastern shore.
