Some of the trails are very rooty and accompanied by small and large obstacles (trees).

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.

Some of the paths are very overgrown. Riding a mountain bike has its advantages. A little adventure awaits you.

Sher beautiful outdoor terrace with a wonderful lake view. Probably nowhere else can you see the Schaalsee better and understand it better than from the hill in the immediate vicinity of the St. Abundus Church in Lassahn. https://seeblick-lassahn.de/gastronomie/

A place to linger, a wonderful view of the Schaalsee and a beautiful church from the 12th/13th century. Century with a small church tower and a cemetery. The St. Abundus Church was the filming location for the German ARD mini-series “Das Begräbnis”, which was first broadcast in 2022. The church, the view of the lake and some other locations are very easy to recognize. Anyone who has taken a bike tour here will recognize many scenes 1:1 in their photos. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Begräbnis_(TV series)

The café garden of the Seeblick site has always been the highlight of the property. Probably nowhere else can you see the Schaalsee better and understand it better than from the hill in the immediate vicinity of the St. Abundus Church in Lassahn. https://seeblick-lassahn.de/gastronomie/
