And directly behind the rest area and the observation tower, a small path leads up to the café with a lake view (huge cake slices)

This demands full concentration! Scenically it's wonderful (the mosquitoes think so too!) and overall I enjoyed this section a lot and it was a lot of effort (logs in the way) by the way I don't have a (!) mountain bike

West of Kittlitz lies the nature reserve „Kittlitzer Hofsee und Umgebung“, which, with the Hofsee, its lowland meadows and alder swamps on the Kittlitzer Bach stream, as well as the adjacent Eichhorst, forms an ideal habitat and refuge e.g. for wild boar, roe deer and the breeding crane. Both natural areas west and east of Kittlitz are connected by the Kittlitzer Bach stream. It flows through the lowland meadows and probably also gave Kittlitz its place name. Through careful handling of their environment, the citizens of the municipality of Kittlitz have preserved this unique natural landscape. https://amt-lauenburgische-seen.de/die-gemeinde-kittlitz.html

The trails are partly very rooty and accompanied by small and larger obstacles (trees). Concentration is mandatory, yet the trails are really fun.

Very friendly - even though it was closed, I was allowed to use the terrace as shelter for over an hour and eat what I had brought with me.

There is a beautiful rest area and an observation tower directly at the Hofsee in Kittlitz.

The "Kittlitzer Hofsee and surroundings" is a nature reserve in the Schleswig-Holstein communities of Kittlitz and Salem in the district of Herzogtum Lauenburg. The 178-hectare NSG, designated in 2008, is a central component of the Schaalsee landscape, a cross-border nature conservation project with nationwide significance. The area is an important link in a chain of protected areas in the "Green Belt" along the former "German-German border" and is also part of the "NATURA 2000" network, which links outstanding protected areas across Europe. Due to extensive land purchases by the Schaalsee-Landschaft special purpose association and the willingness of the Herzogtum Lauenburg district and WWF Germany to provide land, larger parts of the landscape are permanently secured for nature conservation. These are generally not used or only used very extensively.
