Unfortunately, there will be no festivals this year, but the chances are good that festivals will take place again in 2027 through the subsidiary of the city of Eutin. Let's keep our fingers crossed ✊️... As an alternative, a concert summer was realized, which was conceived by the SHMF and will bring its own concerts to the stage in August with three dates 😊... The pier under the stage is freely accessible. So you can also let your beautiful view of the lake wander here 💙.

Well-maintained wooden bridges, where people can easily pass each other, are definitely a highlight for me, unlike metal bridges that rattle when you walk on them or pinch dog paws.

Here, the E6 and E1 run parallel to each other... If you are traveling on either of the two routes, you can see how many kilometers you have already covered and how many are still ahead.
