View of Lake Plön

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very nice view over the lake. In certain weather conditions it can be very windy here. But still a great place to enjoy the view on a walk or a round trip by bike.

View of Lake Plön (Großer Plöner See)

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

At 28 square kilometers, Lake Plön is the largest lake in Schleswig-Holstein and the tenth largest lake in Germany. The river Schwentine flows through it. This waterway connects it to the other lakes in the Holstein Lake District (the Kleiner and Großer Eutiner See, the Kellersee, the Kleiner Plöner See, the Diksee and the Ukleisee).

Excursion boats (5-lake trip) connect the towns of Plön, Malente-Gremsmühlen, Niederkleveez and Timmdorf.

Here you can go swimming in the water. The shore has almost the quality of a sandy beach. From here you can also swim from one lake to the other 😊

Mirror Ponds and Kneipp Pool, Malente

Highlight • Lake

The mirror ponds are located directly above the Dieksee. The hiking trail runs between Dieksee and the mirror ponds. Originally laid out in the 19th century as fish breeding ponds, some of the mirror ponds are used as Kneipp basins. As it is fresh spring water, it is actually surprisingly cold. Depending on the season, you can then easily descend the few steps to the lake and warm up your feet in the lake. Since the mirror ponds are very protected, the water surface is literally smooth as a mirror.

Viewing platform at the Dieksee

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is a 14-kilometer-long circular path around the Dieksee, which is ideal for excursions on foot or by bike. The well-signposted route takes vacationers along paved paths to the most beautiful viewpoints on the Dieksee shore. On the Malenter shore there are also some starting points for Nordic walking routes through the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park. Various routes take vacationers on sporty routes through the landscape of the Holstein Lake District.

Dieksee Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful walk and stroll along the Dieksee. The cycle path is separated at this point and so you can walk here in peace. Once you have left the urban area of Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen, you hike along a pleasant forest path in dense trees. Class!

April 4, 2024,Bad Malente - Plön

Today I hiked from Bad Malente to Plön on the E1 with a view of the lake almost all the time. The Schwentine flows through all the lakes I passed. The rain that started and didn't seem to stop ended the tour at Plön train station earlier than planned.

A "It's pretty cold in the wind over the lake" hiking tour.

What a cold 🥶.

The starting point today was Malente train station and we went directly along the banks of the Dieksee, where there were curiosities to see. This was followed by Behler and Suhrer See, Höftsee, Großer Madebrökensee and at the very end the Großer Plöner See.

Stage 3 second part. From Plön I walked along lakes and through forests to Bad Malente, where I pitched my tent again. This time on the river bank.

Start: Plön train station
Destination: Bad Malente-Gremsmühlen train station

Since an E1 vacation is out of the question this year, an E1 day trip is a must - the Germany ticket makes it possible. 😁

On this stage I do 7 in one go - 7 lakes to be exact. First of all, I am now officially paying a visit …
