Surrounded by beautiful forest lies the tranquil Pipersee, which is about seven meters deep. In some places, the view opens up over the calm water.

In Bad Malente, the spa town in the heart of Holstein Switzerland, lies the Wonderland of the Forest. This includes the wildlife park, the Holzberg Tower, and the Tree Park. These extremely popular visitor attractions are operated and maintained on a voluntary basis by us, the Malente Village and Nature Association. Please feel free to stop by and experience the flora and fauna from different perspectives. In the neighboring village of Krummsee, we recommend visiting the nature trail around Lake Krummsee.

Schwentine Water Trail The Schwentine River connects numerous lakes in Holstein Switzerland over a distance of 62 kilometers. At 62 kilometers, the Schwentine is one of the longest rivers in Schleswig-Holstein and is a popular water trail for canoeists and paddlers. It rises at the foot of the Bungsberg mountain near Schönwalde/Ostholstein and flows into the Baltic Sea near Kiel. Known as the "Holy River" by the Slavs, it was formed from the meltwater of the last Ice Age. On its way through Holstein Switzerland, it connects 16 natural lakes and one reservoir. The most famous lakes include the Großer Eutiner See, Kellersee, Dieksee, Behler See, Großer & Kleiner Plöner See, and Lanker See. Numerous native animal species feel at home along the rivers and lakes. Among the rarest specimens are the kingfisher, bittern, otter, and white-tailed eagle. But amphibians such as fire-bellied toads and moor frogs also frolic in the wet banks of the Schwentine.
